Biathlon | Stiklestad: Sverre Dahlen Aspenes wins over Sturla Holm Lægreid to become Norwegian sprint champion

Biathlon: Sturla Holm Lægreid defeated at the Norwegian championships

The great favourite in the sprint at the Norwegian Biathlon Championships in Stiklestad (Norway) on Friday afternoon, Sturla Holm Lægreid failed to live up to his billing. A few days after lifting his first big crystal globe, he did indeed score 10/10, but had to lose by 11.5 seconds to Sverre Dahlen Aspenes (10/10).

The latter thus becomes Norwegian champion of the speciality, while Johan-Olav Botn (10/10), at 53 sec 3, is tanned. Vetle Paulsen (10/10), Sivert Guttorm Bakken (9/10), Martin Nevland (10/10), Espen Uldal (9/10), Herman Dramdal Borge (10/10), Haavard Tosterud (9/10) and Isak Frey (8/10) entered the top 10.
