Sad death news repeats itself: biathlon star cries bitter bronze tears. Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen couldn't contain his emotions as he stood on the podium.
Gold medalist Johannes Thingnes Bö put his hand comfortingly on his teammate's shoulder. Christiansen had already suffered a similar loss at last year's World Championships in Oberhof. At that time, his grandmother died at the age of 93. He didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye in 2023 either.
