Announcement of the retirement of Johannes Boe – Martin Fourcade pays tribute to “a beautiful man” and an “immense athlete”
A sudden announcement, tears and a forbidden audience: the scene of Johannes Boe informing of his retirement at the end of the season moved more than one onlooker. A diffuse emotion transcended the audience and observers throughout the world of biathlon, as the presence of the Scandinavian glutton left its mark, both by his mastery on the track and by his kindness and humor off it. It is therefore no coincidence that the reactions poured in in large numbers, without delay.
