Biathlon: an incredible pursuit

Five years ago to the day, Isère biathlete Emilien Jacquelin signed his very first World Cup during a disputed pursuit at Hochfilzen (Austria). On this day, December 14, 2019, he started with bib 18 and scored a 20/20 to move up to third place. That day, too, Johannes Thingnes Boe completed a fabulous sprint/pursuit double.

This Saturday afternoon, the scenario seeing the Norwegian double the lead in quick succession in Tyrol has been repeated. Winner of the sprint on Friday, he indeed shone again during the pursuit. Only, the walk in the park five years ago has not happened again. It’s that the native of Stryn (Norway) came across two bones named Sturla Holm Lægreid (19/20) and Emilien Jacquelin (19/20).

One last electric ride

Together at the forefront before the last shot of the race, all three of them made a mistake once. If victory was not played out on the mats, it was therefore on the Tyrolean track that it was going to take shape. The last round then began in a masterful way and Lægreid was the first to crack. SO, a magnificent duel between Boe and Jacquelin, like at the 2020 World Championships in Antholz (Italy) on the same event, was looming.

This is how Johannes Thingnes Boe (18/20) flew to solo victory, his 87th career, and Emilien Jacquelin, with courage, got the better of Sturla Holm Lægreid to finish in second place. His seventh career podium at Hochfilzenby far his favorite site.
