RUHPOLDING, Germany (AP) Johannes Thingnes Boe defeated older brother Tarjei Boe to lead a Norwegian sweep of the podium in the men's 10-kilometer sprint at a biathlon World Cup on Friday.
Boe finished in 21 minutes, 57.5 seconds, three seconds ahead of his sibling, and 7.6 ahead of Emil Hegle Svendsen. All three shot cleanly.
Martin Fourcade of France missed one target and was 10.9 behind in fourth, followed by three Austrians - Sven Grossegger, Simon Eder and Dominik Landertinger - who all shot cleanly.
