Norwegian podium and hegemony again and again. What a shame for others.
Johannes Boe started at number 1, and all rivals were guided by his pace, but what's the point of focusing on the unattainable?
Boe made one mistake on the prone, yet the fog in Oberhof was very noticeable. One mistake of the champion gave some glimmer of hope for intrigue, but Johannes was impeccable on the standing, besides, the opponents are also not robots, and they also made mistakes in the shooting. But as it turned out later, even perfect shooting would not have helped them take the gold from Be.
Johannes on the last lap beat all rivals (except Norwegians) by at least 25 seconds, and some not the weakest ones, for example, Fabien Claude, Simon Eder, Olli Hiindesalo, lost about a minute.
His brother suddenly jumped to second place. Tarjei started much later than the rest of the medal contenders, but gave a great race with perfect shooting, and even on the last lap he lost just 11 seconds.
Sturla Laegreid only actively resisted Johannes for two-thirds of the distance, losing 6 seconds before the began of the last lap. But he seriously merged on the final lap, losing silver to Tarjei.
But the list of Norwegians doesn't end there. Johannes Dale is in fourth place. And Vetle Christiansen is 6th.
Fifth place is a real sensation. Dmitry Pidruchny has only run two races this year, most of the time recovering from a knee injury. And in the first personal race - fifth. And only the wild hegemony of the Norwegians prevented him from being on one of the steps of the podium. Dmitry Pidruchny is the best of the rest. It's sad.
Also a veteran of the world biathlon, and also without a medal, but very close - Andreis Rastorguevs. The biathlete from Latvia couldn't stand the pace on the last lap, and lost more than 40 seconds.
