A week later Bjorndalen has three more first places for a total of 50!
Bjorndalen started first in Sunday’s pursuit after winning Saturday’s race. He hit all 20 targets and was never threatened.
He now thinks that he has reached a top performance wise:
– It’s not possible to become a lot better than what I am at the moment. It’s fantastic when things are working like this in both shooting and skiing. I didn’t have to take out everything. It’s incredibly fun when things are working like this, says Bjorndalen
