JT Boe is breaking his own all-time records

After the sixth Sprint-Pursuit double in Nove Mesto na Morave, JT Boe counts 13 BMW IBU World Cup wins this winter. When we add three wins from the BMW IBU World Championships Oberhof 2023, Johannes’s 2022/2023 is at 16 wins, a record-equaling achievement from the 2018/2019 season. With five individual competitions to go - and health permitting - the odds speak in favour for Johannes to win a record-breaking 17th individual competition of the season.

Marte vs. Ingrid Pursuit last lap thriller

Marte Olsbu Roeiseland loves Nove Mesto na Morave for many reasons. She won her first-ever BMW World Cup competition and Sprint-Pursuit in 2018/2019 in the Czech Republic.

And above anything else - and just like the rest of the athletes - she relishes the unique atmosphere that carried her and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold through the final lap of women’s Pursuit, a true thriller.
