[February 15, 2018]
(Reuters) - Norway's Johannes
Thingnes Boe put in a blistering skiing performance to claim victory
in the men's Olympic 20km individual biathlon event on Thursday.
The 24-year-old shrugged off poor form in his earlier events at the
Games to finish 5.5 seconds ahead of silver medalist Jakov Fak of
Slovenia. Dominik Landertinger of Austria claimed the bronze.
