In Lenzerheide, Switzerland, the men's 12.5 km pursuit race has concluded. Norwegian biathlete Johannes Thingnes Boe secured victory, completing the distance in 32 minutes and 30 seconds. Sturla Holm Lægreid had a strong race but made a single mistake during the final shooting, allowing his companion to go on the last lap alone. During the final lap, Sturla Holm Lægreid was overtaken by another Norwegian, Endre Stroemsheim, who made it to the podium for the first time in his career at the World Cup events.

It's worth noting that yesterday's sprint winner, German biathlete Benedikt Doll, missed seven shots during shooting and finished only 17th.
