The undisputed dominator of the current season, Johannes Boe, became the world champion.
On Saturday, February 11, in Oberhof, Germany, the men’s 10 km sprint race was held as part of the 2023 Biathlon World Championships.
The start of the sprint almost at its scheduled start remained in doubt and could be delayed due to difficult weather conditions – due to fog, visibility was very poor. However, after the biathletes tested the firing lines by shooting, the organizers decided to release the athletes at a distance.
However, unfavorable circumstances did not prevent the undisputed leader of the current biathlon era, Johannes Thingnes Be, from winning the race. Despite a miss in the first shooting, the Norwegian made up for lost time without any problems thanks to an impressive movement and rate of fire in the second shooting range, where he successfully closed all the targets in 21 seconds .
