"We are very proud being here, in first place and third place, as brothers," said Johanes Thingnes Boe, who won his third medal of the Beijing Games. "We are both biathletes but we are also family. We have something between us that is really great. He’s the reason I started in this sport."

Johannes Thingnes skied fast enough over the 10-kilometer course to overcome a missed target and win in 24 minutes, 0.4 seconds. He also won gold in the mixed team relay and bronze in the individual race.

At the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, Johannes Thingnes also won gold in the individual race.

Quentin Fillon Maillet of France took the silver medal, splitting the brothers on the podium. He finished 25.5 seconds behind Johannes Thingnes Boe.

Tarjei Boe, who also won gold in the mixed relay alongside his younger brother, ended up 38.9 seconds behind with one miss. It was his first individual Olympic medal.

"I’m five years older than him, but we have fought together now for the last 10 years in the World Cup," Tarjei said. "We have done it in the world champs, now we are here winning the mixed relay and also here taking individual medals together. It’s an incredible story."
