This weekend, the end of the World Cup in biathlon in Östersund will be decided.

Three races remain, and Norwegian Johannes Thingnes Bö leads the overall World Cup - 25 points ahead of Sturla Holm Laegreid.

And it will be a Norwegian duel for the victory.

- It's a little strange that it's against a teammate, but as a team it's good.

There is a little extra pressure on me and Sturla, because one of us will be disappointed, says Johannes Thingnes Bö to NRK.

New conditions

Last season he won after a two-point drama with Martin Fourcade.

Then he and the other Norwegian riders set up a tactic for it to be a victory for him.

It's not possible now.

- I have not taken a position on it, and I hope that I do not get into a situation where I need to think about it.

We are a tight group and have a good atmosphere.

Regardless of who wins, we are certainly good friends on Sunday, says Tarjei Bö.

Behind the battle for the victory is Sebastian Samuelsson seventh in the total, and Martin Ponsiluoma is ninth.

In the women's world cup, Tiril Eckhoff has already secured the victory, Hanna Öberg is third.
