A battle royale on the last loop with Johannes Dale-Skjevdal showing absolutely no mercy on the last uphills before the glide into the stadium, demoting Christiansen, Johannes Thingnes Boe and Jacquelin into to the runner-up spots.
Sturla Holm Laegreid coming through clutch after most of the big names miss a target and wining Sprint Gold by outsprinting Johannes Thingnes Boe on the last kilometres? A wild evening in Nove Mesto Na Morave with drama and suspense worthy of a Biathlon World Championships!
Once again, Jacquelin found himself in a battle with 3 Norwegians on the final loop (a pattern which you’ll see emerge multiple times in this top 4!) – this time, there was no stopping Johannes T. Boe in this victory which all but sealed his Total Score defense. Contrary to Ruhpolding, Jacquelin squeezed past Laegreid to secure a podium spot behind the Boe brothers.
Third pursuit in this list but what can we do? It was that good. A fascinating battle between Jacquelin, J. T. Boe and Laegreid (once again) which came to a premature end when Jacquelin crossed skis with Boe. No matter how hard they battle on the tracks, there is no animosity at the finish.
