Pokljuka – Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid took his second gold at the Biathlon World Championship on Pokljuka on Wednesday, beating Germany’s Arnd Peiffer and compatriot Johannes Dale in the men’s individual event.
Laegreid, who was part of the team that won the mixed relay a week ago, and Peiffer made up for late start with perfect shooting records, but the Norwegian beat the German by 16.9 seconds. Dale missed a shot, clocking a lag of 40.9 seconds.
“It’s something you’ve dreamt about your whole life,” said Laegreid, whom the feat made the best newcomer to the biathlon circuit following his World Cup debut last year.
