Ahead of the final weekend of his career, Norway's Tarjei Boe has come down with a fever and will skip tomorrow's men's sprint. He hopes to be back in action on Sunday for the Mass Start. Just a week ago, Johannes Thingnes Boe had to pull out of the weekend races in Pokljuka after getting sick.

The decision for Bø to sit out the initial competitions was made in consultation with the national team management this afternoon

On Friday, the sprints will kick off the last competitions of this biathlon season, followed by the pursuits on Saturday and the Mass Starts on Sunday.
