Winter Olympics 2022 - Norway steal men’s biathlon relay gold after ROC fall apart in final shoot
The Russian Olympic Committee threw away a huge lead in the final leg of the men’s biathlon relay to hand gold to Norway at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Eduard Latypov was wasteful in the final standing shoot, blowing a lead of nearly a minute over Norway while Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen was faultless with the rifle to surge the Norwegians into the lead. France had been 44.8 seconds behind Latypov but also came out ahead after the final shoot to claim silver as the Russians settled for bronze.
