With a total of 20 of the 20 hits, Lægreid won. Johannes Thingnes Bø got the Norwegian double.

In the end, the 23-year-old had lost a lot to Thingnes Bø, but still crossed the finish line with a 19.6sec lead.
Erik Lesser from Germany took third place.

– It has not occurred to me
Thus, a very cheerful boy appeared for an interview with NRK right after the race.
– I have not fully realized what is happening now. I still rise up there, says Lægreid.
– It was disgusting to hear on the road that I suddenly put myself at the level of Tarjei and Johannes, and suddenly I was leading the race and!
– Great day for the team
Despite being beaten by Lægreid by 19 seconds, Thingnes Bø was also happy with today’s race, and was quite impressed with the sensational man.
– It’s rare to be hit by someone younger than me, but it had to get there. It’s been completely raw, it’s completely out of class, Stryningen said after the race about today’s winner.
Big brother Bø did not have an equally good day on the field, and with two booms on the last shot, the 32-year-old finished with a total of three booms. At the time of writing, he is 12th at the finish, but he shows joy on behalf of his teammate.
– It’s a great day for the team, and even bigger for him, says Tarjei Bø to NRK.

Norwegian double
From start number 26, Johannes Thingnes Bø went hard in the 20 kilometers at Kontiolahti, but with a barrier on the first shot, he couldn’t hold out for the striker, who had to settle for second place.
Sturla Holm Laegreid took the lead in both second and third after shooting three full.
– It’s crazy! It is completely amazing! exclaimed NRK commentator Stabrun Smith after their third full house.
And on the fourth shot, Laegreid once again made no mistake and came out with an advantage that he fully endured.
