ANNECY, France (AP) Junior world champion Johannes Thingnes Boe of Norway won the men's 10-kilometer sprint at a biathlon World Cup on Saturday for his first career win.
The 20-year-old Boe shot clean to finish in 22 minutes, 6.7 seconds, putting him 32.9 ahead of Ondrej Moravec of Czech Republic, who also shot clean. Frenchman Martin Fourcade had one penalty and finished 37.1 back in third place.
Early on, Fourcade shot clean in prone and took a solid lead before Thingnes Boe started to pressure him, shooting faster than the Frenchman in standing to take the lead.
Fourcade lost a ski pole as he headed to the penalty loop and drifted from second to third.
Dmitry Malyshko of Russia was fourth ahead of Simon Schempp of Germany as both shot clean.
