IBU World Champs Photos: Men’s Mass Start

OSLO, Norway — In the final race of International Biathlon Union (IBU) World Championships at Holmenkollen, Norway’s own Johannes Thingnes Bø proved to be a crowd-pleaser in front of tens of thousands of fans on Sunday. He eked out the win in the men’s 15-kilometer mass start by 2.8 seconds over France’s Martin Fourcade, and Norwegian veteran Ole Einar Bjørndalen took bronze, 6.7 seconds back.

For the U.S., Lowell Bailey and Tim Burke placed 10th and 12th, respectively, leaving them both relatively satisfied with their results.
