Illustration of its domination, Norway even placed five of its six riders in the Top 10, since Johannes Dale finished at the foot of the podium and Vetle Christiansen took 6th place.
Only the Ukrainian Dmytro Pidruchnyi (5th) managed to slip into the middle of the Norwegian armada.
The double French Olympic champion (pursuit and individual) Quentin Fillon Maillet, had to settle for 9th place ahead of his compatriot Antonin Guigonnat (10th).
"QFM", which has never been crowned individual world champion, confirms its difficulties this season, with only one podium since the start of winter (pursuit of Pokljuka).
For Boe, 29, on the other hand, everything is going well.
Already untouchable after having won all the World Cup sprints since the start of the season (5 out of 5), the five-time Olympic champion has won the fifth individual world title of his career.
With this title and the gold won with the mixed relay on Wednesday at the opening of the Worlds, he brings his total to 14 world gold medals.
In difficult conditions due to the fog on the German course, which raised fears of a postponement, Boe left with the number 1 bib of leader of the general classification of the World Cup.
After his 4 out of 5 on the prone shot, Boe was forced into a penalty round, but on the standing shot the Norwegian went clear before making the difference on skis.
He precedes his brother Tarjei, 34, by 14.8 seconds and Laegreid by 39.9 seconds.
The first sixty of the sprint are qualified for the pursuit on Sunday and will start with the gaps inherited from this race.
The women's pursuit is also scheduled for Sunday.
