Untouchable Johannes Boe. Already crowned this Saturday in sprint, the Norwegian, who will stop his career after this season, confirmed this Sunday during the prosecution by dominating the competition outrageously. Leaving in the lead with 27 seconds in advance, he offered himself without trembling a 22nd coronation world and still wrote the history of biathlon a little more, despite two shooting faults. He is ahead of the American Campbell Wright, surprising second (8 seconds) and French Eric Perrot (20 seconds).
The 23 -year -old Savoyard saved the Blues on Sunday. Because overall, they were not at the party. Third to start thanks to his bronze medal during the sprint, Quentin Fillon Maillet was completely missed on the firing step, especially during his second bed. With five faults, he finally finished in 6th place, thanks to his performances on skis.
“It’s a difficult race, it was hard,” said the Jurassic at the microphone of the L’Equipe chain. At the last shot, it was the medal or nothing. I have a little too committed my shot and it did not go. In contact with the podium until the third shot, Fabien Claude also collapsed during his standing shots and finished 16th, behind Émilien Jacquelin.
“A little golden taste”
Éric Perrot has done an opposite race. Starting with the 15th bib, 1′11 ″ after Johannes Boe, the 23 -year -old Frenchman committed only one fault and reassembled his opponents one by one. At the attack in the last lap, he even tried to resume the American Campbell Wright, but the surprise of these Worlds was far too impressive this Sunday.
“It’s magnificent. I said before these Worlds that I came for gold or nothing, it is always the case, but I have a real feeling of gold, swore the Savoyard, who won his first individual world medal. Starting 15th, I could not have done better, I feel like I did the best possible race today. This medal has a little golden taste, I am really satisfied. »»
