Norwegian five-time Olympic champion Johannes Boe is one of the greatest athletes in biathlon history, said commentator Dmitri Guberniev .
Boe previously set the record for most winning races in a season. On Thursday he was the best in the sprint at the World Cup in Holmenkollen, which was his 17th victory this season. The Norwegian surpassed his own established feat in the 2018/19 season, when he won 16 starts.
– Johannes Boe is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes in the history of biathlon. I think Russian athletes would hardly have stopped him from achieving such a feat. Could Eduard Latypov in separate races undoubtedly compete with him. However, as we are not performing, records are being set. Johannes is absolutely brilliant. So we can only congratulate him.
Is Johannes still one of the greatest, or the greatest?
– There is a category of people who stand next to him, but the fingers of one hand are enough to count them. They are Rafael Poiret, Ole Einar Björndalen, Emil Hegle Svendsen, Martin Fourcade, without a doubt. A number of athletes who have done a lot not only as great champions, but also to advance biathlon in general. And Johannes is also from this galaxy. Big five, Guberniev told .
The Russian Biathlon Championship will be held from March 27 to April 2 in Khanty-Mansiysk. Watch live broadcasts of the tournament on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
