Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid left the standing stage after shooting clean in this evening’s IBU World Championships Men’s 10 km Sprint with a slim 7.9 second lead over defending champion Johannes Thingnes Boe. Laegreid lost that margin with 900 meters to go, but recovered with a furious final few hundred meters to win his third career individual IBU WCH Gold medal in 25:23.9, punching the sky in delight as he crossed the finish line.
