It may feel far to the biathlon season and the Winter Studio, but the pre-season is in full swing.
In Wiesbaden, Germany, the biathletes ran mass starts in roller biathlon.
It looked good for a long time for Tarjei Bö;
he was second when one of his ties broke and he fell to the ground.
"Looks so awfully dramatic"
Bö managed to get up and continued the race, but only a few hundred meters left to the finish it was time again.
The binding broke and Tarjei Bö flew into the asphalt;
this time with the face first.
- It looks so terribly dramatic.
And it is dramatic considering the Olympic season, says the expert Ola Lunde in NRK's broadcast.
- He's not doing anything wrong.
It is clear that the bond triggers.
It's too bad.
It is clearly an equipment fault, Lunde continues.
"Do not use that binding"
A shaken Bö could, however, link across the finish line for his own machine, where his little brother Johannes Thingnes Bö was the winner. '
On his Instagram profile, Tarjei Bö wrote after the race:
"I'm fine.
I think I was pretty lucky.
Three thoughts on the race:
1. Always wear a helmet.
2. Do not use that binding.
3. Do not let your winning brother get any attention. ”
