Biathlon : John Gust: The Exceptional Athlete

A pure fun event was the Biathlon world Cup. At least not for the athletes who need to meet through the trails of the winter sports world to torment every now and again. Since a certain Johannes Thinges Bö is on the way, has decreased the entertainment factor, however. "It makes little fun with me in the world Cup," said the 25-year-old Norwegian recently in the ARD. He was referring to himself, because he was "a bit boring". But it applies equally to its competitors, which may make an effort as you want – and most of the time however, a maximum of only up to second landing.

gust now has has something done, why not even be more popular country-man, the eternal Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, or any other biathlete has ever been able to: Complete 15 races, he was able to decide in this Winter, most recently, he triumphed at the weekend in front of a home crowd in Oslo. That he would get with a huge gap to the overall world Cup, for a long time anyway. In addition, he has won at the world Championships in Östersund last four times Gold. Anyone who thinks it is evil, and it could therefore be argued that this Biathlon-Winter is just as boring as his Hero. But that would be the Norwegians.

"What's he doing twice as well as we do," says German Erik Lesser. Before not too long time ago, it was still different. In the cross-country squall was ahead of the other has always been far, at the shooting range, he was bombed so many times. At the time of the biathlete celebrated and had during the season a lot more fun. On the Internet a Video which shows him as he performed with his shirt open a rock song, with lots of pleasure and probably with a bit of alcohol.

Earlier, s. gust was trained now more concentrated and makes more reliable the discs. He himself says that he stops at home to deal with the Sport. His wife is complaining already because he imitate in the bed of the run steps. Both – Run and shoot – well, are the distances to the colleagues huge. "It is particularly to be now one of many legends," said gust, after his record victory.

gust actually had would be a other career planning

it came very close to even this amazing career. Little Johannes Thinges Bö had other, fun ideas of his life, but he had also his older brother. "He would not have been, it would have stopped with 16 with the Biathlon," says John gust. I have, however, swept him – and so is the competition from the own home outright bred. Knew it has the Smaller. When he dominated the world Cup, he said: "I know that there is a better one: My younger brother John. Because I've been afraid of if he is world Cup ready.“

Biathlon Thingnes Bö record victory

Not only because of the brother duel, also the competition in any other team is as large as in the case of the Norwegians. celebrates And, of course, come on then, the doubt, if someone is sharpening so rapidly through the snow. Is it with the right things? Gust, and refuted the doubts, perhaps, to have the largest heart volume was measured in biathlon sports for decades. Perhaps in this heart then after the season also room for a little fun.
