The Norwegian biathlete Johannes Boe and his brother Tarjei, who did not start the individual Thursday in Oestersund (Sweden) due to Covid, will also skip the mass start event on Sunday, management announced on Friday. “Johannes trained on Thursday and felt good, but we decided he was better than him and Tarjei are waiting for Holmenkollen for the resumption”Norway coach Egil Kristiansen told NTB news agency.
Johannes Boe, now guaranteed to win the big crystal globe, and his brother both returned from Nove Mesto (Czech Republic) last weekend, without taking part in the mixed and mixed singles relays. However, they hoped to make their return to competition on Sunday. This will not be the case, unlike their compatriot Sturla Holm Laegreid, also contaminated by the Covid but declared good for the service. The Boe brothers will conclude the season in front of their home crowd at Holmenkollen from March 16 to 19.
