In the last season, Stryn's twenty-fourth hour has raised its precision from 85% to 89%. The goal is to continue on this road and, in this sense, the Scandinavian seems very optimistic: "In shooting very well. I even almost never stand up. It is a fantastic feeling and I hope to do the same during the winter. Now as of now, shooting seems almost a game. On the other hand, Siegfried Mazet is teaching me a great deal. If I have so much improved the polygon it is all its merit. I realized why Fourcade was angry when he knew he would not work with him anymore. He is the best shooting trainer in the world. " However, despite the transfer of Mazet to the fjords, Martin last year was absolutely devastating. Considering how Johannes BÃ¸ is five years younger than the transalpine and is unanimously considered the future leader of the male circuit, one wonders when the delivery will be. In this regard, Johannes is very clear: "It is frustrating to say just the eve of an Olympic season, but I still need a year to stabilize the shot. I still have to find the best balance between precision and ability to give everything on skiing. In 2016-'17 I grew so much, but I needed another season to become like Fourcade throughout the winter. " However Johannes BÃ¸ does not intend to make it to appear in 2017-'18: "The goal is to win at least one Olympic gold. The Games only count one thing: the gold medal. If it did not, my season would be negative. "
