Norwegian dominant Johannes Thingnes Bö has contracted covid-19.

The star tested positive before Saturday's chase start - which he won in spectacular style - and then tested positive again.

Thingnes Bö left the arena in the Czech Republic quickly after the race and will not start in Sunday's relay.

His brother Tarjei Bö, who came second in the chase start, says the following to SVT Sport:

- Sturla (Holm Lagereid) was infected earlier this week.

We have tested ourselves every day to keep track.

Everything is a bit uncertain.

We are hoping for the best.

He tells NRK that they both tested positive after the race.

- We are both a little unsure.

We don't know for sure if we have it or not.

But both me and Johannes had a positive test.

Tarjei Bö also misses Sunday's relay.
