Only One Biathlete Hit All 20 of His Targets in the Men's 15km. He Ultimately Won Gold.
Johannes Dale-Skjevdal’s perfect 20-for-20 shooting led Norway to its 17th gold, breaking the Winter Olympics single-Games gold medal record.
- At the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, a Norwegian biathlete won gold in Antholz after hitting all 20 targets, setting a record with Norway's 17th gold.
- Dale-Skjevdal took the lead after the first standing bout and completed five laps on newly packed snow and gusty winds in 39 minutes, 17.1 seconds, securing his solo victory.
- Quentin Fillon Maillet chased Philipp Horn and passed him on a big hill to take bronze, 25.6 seconds behind the winner, while Tommaso Giacomel retired on the third lap due to sudden side pain, the Italian biathlon federation said.
- Yesterday, Quentin Fillon Maillet added to his Olympic medal total, reaching nine, as Campbell Wright missed seven targets and finished last, ending U.S. medal hopes.
- The women's 12.5-kilometer mass start is scheduled for Saturday, and Sturla Holm Laegreid, Norwegian biathlete, finished 10.5 seconds back for silver, calling it a special day.
