17:40. Norway’s Endre Stroemsheim , who won the opening individual short race of the men’s biathlon world cup in Kontiolahti (Finland) on Tuesday afternoon, will be wearing the yellow bib of overall leader in the sprint on Friday .
This is the first time in his career that the biathlete from Oslo has had this opportunity. It was his victory, achieved by 3 sec 0 over Johannes Thingnes Boe (19/20), who wore this tunic on Tuesday, that enabled him to don it. At the individual event in Ruhpolding (Germany) on January 15, the Scandinavian will also be wearing red.
Wearing the blue bib is Ukraine’s Vitalii Mandzyn (20/20), surprisingly fourth and best U23 in this individual short.
