After winning the gold as a dominator in the Sprint, Johannes Boe is hunting for another title, which would lead him to emulate Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who in Salt Lake City 2002 achieved the double Sprint - Pursuit, the only one for the moment in history to do so. Boe, however, does not win in the format, which in his career has seen him triumph twelve times, even since December 2019, when at Le Grand Bornand he imposed himself right in front of Quentin Fillon Maillet.
The Frenchman, who will start with a delay of 26 "from his rival, is in an open streak of four consecutive wins in the Pursuit tests and will try to keep the title in France that was Martin Fourcade in Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018. Four years ago "monsieur le biathlon" won ahead of Samuelsson and Doll.
Here the IBU live timing!
Here is the starting list!
Today the Swede will start in fifth place at 52 ”from Boe and also behind Tarjei Boe (+39”) and the Russian Tsvetkov (+41 ”). Doll, on the other hand, will be 8th at 1’05 ". All these athletes will have to try the great comeback, as well as the Azzurri: Hofer (14th at 1’19 "), Bormolini (23rd at 1’44") and Windisch (30th at 1’51 "). The goal is also to remove the pass for the start in line, where the two South Tyroleans would be present at the moment, but the situation is in the making. On the other hand, Tommaso Giacomel did not qualify for the pursuit.
