As many as fourth Wednesday at the World Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, 20 kilometers on a normal trip Olli Hiidensalo Early earned his career in a single competition for the most plump prize pool.
The International Biathlon Association IBU pays EUR 11,000 to Nummi-Pusula’s breed.
IBU will shell out at the World Championships for the best of 30. Gold medalist earns € 25,000 and 30th € 250.
– Yes, it was a perfect biathlon performance for me, Hiidensalo commented in an interview with the Finnish Broadcasting Company.
– Already in the third shooting there was pressure and extra vibration and all kinds of thoughts, but I got a nice assembly, all the Finn, who had killed the 20/20 table, added.
For the first time in his career, a pretty fresh father got the top six athletes’ awards.
“It wasn’t far from the medal, but there were three tougher dads above,” Hiihdensalo said.
– own this race to my son. Home greetings, he moved.
The result is by far the best of the Finnish World Cup. The previous top score was 25 for the 2019 quick trip. At the 2018 South Korean Olympic Games, Hiidensalo was nineteen in the speed competition.
In the World Cup, the man’s best personal position is 11.
