Johannes Thingnes Boe storms to another victory against his brother Tarjei in Nove Mesto

Johannes Thingnes Boe beat brother Tarjei for the second time this weekend to take 12.5km pursuit gold in Nove Mesto.

Johannes finished 34.6 seconds clear in a repeat of their one-two in Friday’s 10km sprint to claim his 16th World Cup win of the season.

He is now 399 points clear in the race for the Crystal Globe with just five events remaining and will hope to wrap up the title in Ostersund next weekend.

Sweden’s Martin Ponsiluoma finished third, marginally beating Germany’s Benedikt Doll.

There was also a Norwegian one-two in the women’s 10km, as Marte Olsbu Roeiseland beat Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold at the end of a thrilling last loop to match the same top three from Friday’s 7.5km sprint.

France’s Anais Chevalier-Bouchet had the lead at the beginning of the last loop, but the Norwegian pair reeled her in, with Roeiseland prevailing in front of a raucous crowd.

Julia Simon finished fourth and now leads the overall standings, 158 points ahead of Elvira Odberg.
