• The case was updated continuously during the mass start.
HOLMENKOLLEN (Dagbladet): VMs last exercise was concluded with “biathlon sport Formula 1″ with four Norwegian gulllkandidater: Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, Emil Hegle Svendsen, Tarjei Bo and Johannes Thingnes Bø.
After two Norwegian relay gold in two days was rescued championships for Norway before the mass start. But France is VMs great nation and has completed a championship level with Norway’s dream Championships in Nove Mesto in 2013.
Marie Dorin Habert removed all doubt about who is VM-queen with current gold, while countryman Martin Fourcade’s championship undisputed king and was big favorite as well at Lord jakstart.
World Ace had won all individual races so far this championship. Could the Norwegian quartet, which showed that together they’re the best team in the relay yesterday, preventing Fourcade fairytale grand slam?
– I have faith in all the four Norwegian. I can not single out one of them. This will be very exciting. It becomes a drama, said NRK’s biathlon expert Liv Grete Skjelbreid before the race.
It would prove that Thingnes Bo was most luminous, while also Bjoerndalen could cheer for a new medal.
• The race is on. Fourcade keep on going in the face, but releasing with fright. Field is currently collected. The Norwegian has made good progress and has positioned itself in the front part of the field.
• At the first crossing point is Erik Lesser in front of the field. Tarjei Bo is the last of the Norwegian in 15th place, but the field is generated and the distances are small.
• Just before Gratishaugen jerk Fourcade into the firing line. Only Simon Eder keep pace. Down to Bjoerndalen and co is four seconds.
• Fourcade being punished for the stunt, misses the first shot and must go one penalty loop. Bjoerndalen and Thingnes Bo shoot full house, while Svendsen and brother Bo booms once each.
• Bjoerndalen and Thingnes Bo is thus with the front group, while Tarjei Bo and Forucade closest of those has been in the penalty round. Now drag actually Bo on Fourcade. It is definitely a sign of strength for stryn no, but is it a good idea to tow up Frenchman?
– Tarjei Bo helped Fourcade much on normal program too. I would have preferred that he let Fourcade did the job, says shooting expert Ola Lunde.
• It is quiet in tetgruppa where Bjoerndalen and Thingnes Bo has chosen to save effort in this round. Fourcade and brother Bo have contact before the second shooting.
• The Norwegian duo’s tactics worked. Bjoerndalen and brother Bo came into the firing line with lower pulse than normal for a leisurely round and shoot five quick hits. Thus, they are still at the forefront, while Tarjei Bo is penalized for a hard second round and have to walk a new penalty loop. Fourcade shoots full house this time and have contact with tetgruppa again.
• Now turn Thingnes Bo up the pace and pull on the front. He gets a hatch. Bjoerndalen realize the seriousness and follow right behind. Fourcade is in 10th place now, ten seconds behind stryn no.
• Thingnes Bo going very well now. The distance down to Schempp, Bjoerndalen and the nearest pursuers is 6.5 seconds. Fourcade is at the tail of the peloton and lose seconds.
• Thingnes Bo shoot an insane speed burst, but fall short on the last shot. Bjoerndalen hit, however, everything, once again, and leader after three shootings!
• Bjoerndalen go out on the penultimate lap with a small edge over Fourcade who hit fully and who have los on a new gold. Thingnes Bø twitch and fast serial makes him only ten seconds behind Bjoerndalen, despite one penalty loop. It comes he is likely to catch up on this round.
• Fourcade passing Bjoerndalen, but now 42-year-old back in the front. – It’s amazing. Ole Einar is in the lead before the last shooting, breakaway NRK commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith.
• Fourcade do as the first round and jerk on the way into the firing line. He quickly gets a hatch this time too. When the Frenchman did this before the first shooting, he was punished with one boom. The same happens now?
• But no, this time shooting Fourcade full house. But it also makes both Bjoerndalen and Thingnes Bo. The Norwegian duo assumes respectively five and seven seconds behind World Cup king. Can they catch the Frenchman? Could it be Norwegian gold? Can there be two Norwegian medals?
• Thingnes Bo goes incredibly fast and take in the seven seconds quickly. Now little brother Bo in the back Forucade. And Bjoerndalen follows just behind! For a drama this is.
• Thingnes Bo proceed in the front. He seems to be stronger than Fourcade but he’d better get a hatch before the sprint. Bjoerndalen five seconds behind tetduoen now.
• Little brother Bo have had much rod out of the championship with three 4th places. Now it will be guaranteed a medal. But is it gold? At the moment he goes and drags on Fourcade. Behind the defense has big brother Bo advanced to 4th place, while Bjoerndalen only four seconds behind Thingnes Bo and Fourcade now.
• Fourcade passes Thingnes Bo into the stadium. Now it was heard. Bjoerndalen still has not given up and is approaching steadily.
• Thingnes Bo promoted past Fourcade in the last hill and over Northug-surface. He gets a little weed and hear cheers intoxicated on the run. Thingnes Bo becomes world champion at Holmenkollen! Fourcade takes the silver, while Bjoerndalen takes bronze.
– What happened now? This was absolutely magical. I was inspired by Northug and determined as he. Finally I struck Fourcade. This is so insanely delicious, says Thingnes Bo to state channel.
– I told you I should not be worse than no. 4 in this championship. It has been a fantastic championship, continues the freshly world champion.
