Certain since the day before of winning a fifth big crystal globe, the Norwegian Johannes Boe concluded the biathlon season with one more victory in the last mass start in Canmore, Canada, on Sunday.
This eighth success of the winter in 21 individual races in the World Cup, with a 19 out of 20 in shooting, offers him the added bonus of the small mass start globe, at the expense of his compatriot Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, who was second on Sunday in 44 sec 5/10th, after two faults.
Third at 1 min 07 sec 2/10th after three missed targets, Emilien Jacquelin took his third podium in five races.
Better still, he didn't fall out of the top 4 during the last two stages of the season.
Best Frenchman in the general classification, he finished sixth and avoided a Norwegian sextuplet.
Quentin Fillon-Maillet ranked seventh in the mass start after three faults behind the rifle, at 1 min 31 sec 4/10th, Fabien Claude 16th (4 faults, +2:32.2) and Eric Perrot 20th (5 faults, +3:01.2).
