Johannes Thingnes Boe caps devastating biathlon campaign with record nineteenth win in Osla

Johannes Thingnes Boe capped off a devastating biathlon campaign with a record 19th win of the season in Oslo.

The Norwegian dropped two shots in the 15km mass start and still finished 26.2 seconds ahead of blue bib holder and clean shooter Niklas Hartweg of Switzerland.

Two penalty loops only served to allow the five-time Olympic gold medallist to soak in the adulation from an adoring home crowd.

Boe had already wrapped up the pursuit, sprint and a fourth overall Crystal Globe, but the mass start globe went to Sunday’s bronze medallist, Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen.

It was Christiansen’s third mass start podium of the season, with compatriot Boe trailing by 30 points in the season’s standings.
