Bo was a millimeter from gold – Dagsavisen

By Espen Hartvig

 
 

HOLMENKOLLEN: Bom at the very latest by 20 shots were very short mustache in the 20th kilometer. Television pictures showed that it was so close you could get – without hitting.

 
 

It gave Bo the third consecutive fourth place in the championship. He opened with bronze in mixed relay first day.

 
 

Fourcade won all competitions so far.

 
 

– It was actually the hair. I’m a hair away, says Johannes Thingnes Bø said.

 
 

– I saw it on TV down here. I think I’m the one who has been closest in history to win while not received medals. It was terrible sucks.

 
 

Winning

 
 

Fourcade also missed once, but won anyway. He was 57.2 seconds faster than Bo.

 
 

– I’m young and will win many World Championship gold in the coming years. I was lucky last year and very unfortunate this year. It was very close to getting into legend with gold on home soil. This seems unfortunately not to be my championship, says Bo.

 
 

– Implementation min I am very satisfied with.

 
 

– Fourcade?

 
 

– Yes, he is good he. I have responded to it ten times before today and answer the same every time.

 
 

Bo took the sour location with good humor. – I have it relatively good although there was not a medal. I did a great race, but will not do anything with what the others are doing.

 
 

Had Control

 
 

– I had three full houses at the start and realized it could be something big. I am still very quiet and nice at the last shooting.

 
 

Behind Fourcade went Austrians Dominik Landertinger and Simon -Eder – both with flawless shooting – into silver and bronze.

 
 

For Norway ended with a weak day. Ole Einar Bjørndalen was number 17 with two additional minutes.

 
 

Tarjei Bo came in as 21-man after three bomskudd.

 
 

On 32 .The place came Emil Hegle Svendsen in. Also he strikes twice at the shooting range, but it was very slow in the slot.

 
 

– John is very close now, and I really hope that we can do it as a team (relay Saturday) and he gets it to the mass start (Sunday), Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of team mate almost -VM. (© NTB)
