Last week, superstar and little brother Johannes Thingnes Bø surprisingly announced that he is quitting after this season.
The cross-country skiing giant told with tears running that it was time to prioritize family life.
Now, big brother Tarjei Bø is making the same decision.
He delivered the message after winning Friday's sprint in Antholz – his 44th victory in the World Cup.
We often think about how to tell this to the outside world, I decided that if I win one more competition, I would tell, says Tarjei Bø.
Before this season, I decided that it would be my last. I have felt throughout the winter that it fits well to give up. The energy is at the top, I am still one of the world's best biathletes, and I want to finish at that level, he says.
