Bö sets new record: 21 gold medals in biathlon after Sprint victory!

The Norwegian biathlete Johannes Thingnes Bö collected a remarkable feat on February 15, 2025 in the sprint of Lenzerheide. Bön not only secured victory, but also became the sole world record world champion with a total of 21 gold medals. He overtook the legendary record of Ole Einar Björndalen, which had existed for many years. With an error -free shooting performance and an impressive lead of 27.7 seconds, Bö dominated the race and once again showed his extraordinary skills.

Surprisingly, the American Campell Wright took second place, also flawless, while the Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet scored third place with a shooting error and finished 37 seconds behind Bö. The German biathletes, on the other hand, had a disappointing appearance. The best athlete of the German Ski Association (DSV) was Philipp Nawrath, who reached the 18th place with two penalty rounds, landing 1: 26.0 minutes behind the superior Bö. Justus Strelow, who won bronze in the mixed relay on Wednesday, shot next to it and fell in the penalty round, which impaired his placement. The DSV athletes Danilo Riethmüller and Philipp Horn also did not achieve the front places due to numerous mistakes.

German team disappointed

The German biathletes had shown a certain row of success in the first two races of the World Championships, including a silver medal for Franziska Preuss in sprint and a bronze in the mixed competition. The expectations were high, but their hopes in the sprint in Lenzerheide ended abruptly. The catastrophic shooting performance of several athletes led to the starting point for the persecution of the next Sunday.

In the overall view, it can be seen that Johannes Thingnes Bö is not only a athlete, but also as a record holder in the center of the global biathlon sport. His impressive performance is based on an extensive career and remarkable statistics. Bö has collected numerous titles and medals since his World Cup debut in 2013. With 40 total medals, including 23 golden ones, he has now established himself as one of the largest figures in the biathlon.

born on May 16, 1993 in Stryn, Norway, Bö experienced many highlights in his career, including a dominant 2018/19 season with a record of 16 individual winnings. In the current season he has once again demonstrated his class and could put the bar even higher for future generations in biathlon.

The questions whether Bö can continue his impressive series in the upcoming competitions and whether the German team gets back on its feet in the persecution. On Sunday it continues in the persecution of women over 10 km and the fans hope for a better performance of the DSV athletes.
