Bö overtakes Björndalen: Gold Hattrick in Lenzerheide!

Johannes Thingnes Bö wrote history in Lenzerheide today by sprinting his 21st world championship title in the biathlon. The Norwegian prevailed with an impressive lead of almost half a minute and thus overtook the record of Ole Einar Björndalen. Bö, who remained error -free in this race, showed his dominance again in sports and confirmed his favorite role in the current World Cup. He was persecuted on the podium by the surprisingly strong American Campbell Wright, who shone in silver with his first World Cup medal. The third was the Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet, who also stayed without a shot and won bronze with a 10 second deficit. According to Kleine Zeitung it is Bö’s 89. Karriere victory, which gives him the record of Björndalen reach if he continues to be successful.

The competition was not only important for Bös, but also for other athletes. Sebastian Stalder was the best Swiss and ended up in 13th place, putting his shooting performance without errors. However, due to a less strong mileage, he had to lose a few places. Another Swiss team member, the 27-year-old Niklas Hartweg, was also able to fight for 19th place after two mistakes. However, the two chasing races on Sunday offer exciting opportunities for all participants, whereby the women will start at 12:05 p.m. and the men at 3:05 p.m. href = "https://www.srf.ch/sport/Mehr-sport/Biathlon/Biathlon-wm-in-lenzerheide-sichert-sicher-sicht-number-21-stalder-Bester-Schweizer"> SRF reported.
