Johannes Thingnes Boe Wins 21st Gold at Biathlon World Championships

Johannes Thingnes Boe made history by winning gold in the men's 10 km sprint at the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, claiming his 21st World Championship gold and surpassing Ole Einar Bjoerndalen's record of 20. Boe's dominant performance saw him finish in 21 minutes, 56.8 seconds, with perfect shooting, while Campbell Wright from the U.S. secured a surprising silver. The bronze medal went to France's Quentin Fillon Maillet, who missed one shot during the race. Despite the celebration, the event was marred by controversy over the TV coverage, which missed crucial moments of Boe's final target rounds, drawing criticism from Bjoerndalen. Boe, who announced his retirement at the end of the season, expressed joy over his achievement, marking it as a significant milestone in his career. The conditions were ideal for the race, contrasting sharply with the previous day's snowy weather, allowing for a thrilling competition among the 99 starters.
