Ole Einar Björndalen is the most successful biathlete of all time, with, among other things, 13 Olympic and 45 World Cup medals.
Nowadays he is an expert on Norwegian TV2, and was therefore present in Oberhof when Sebastian Samuelsson and Martin Ponsiluoma today broke Johannes Thingnes Bö and the other Norwegians in the final mass start of the WC.
- It was impressive!
Absolutely fantastic to see what "Sebbe" did.
He started the WC with pole out and small problems, but then he comes back and has 20 hits on the last day.
He was the best biathlete today, he tells SVT Sport, and goes on to praise Samuelsson's approach to the race:
- He makes all tactical choices very well.
He had a good plan and stuck to it.
He was a little calmer on the mound and had 20 hits.
Then he was tactically smart during the race and did everything right.
