Men 10 km Sprint Competition

Norway’s Johannes Thingnes Boe after winning the last two competitions in Kontiolahti last week picked up where he left off, shooting clean while winning the Hochfilzen men’s 10 km sprint this morning in 23:04. JT was simply unstoppable today, holding the lead at every split except at the 1.6 km and then burying his rivals in the last loop to seal his third consecutive victory this season. The man who topped JT at that early split, by a mere .6 seconds, was France’s Emilien Jacquelin who finished second with a single penalty, 43 seconds back. JT’s teammate Sturla Holm Laegreid, also with one penalty finished third, 46.9 seconds back.
