Johannes Bo

Thingnes Bø won several international medals in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 he became a junior world champion for the third time. In April 2012 he was drafted for the Norwegian senior National Team. 18 years old at the time, he is one of the youngest Norwegians ever to be drafted for the national biathlon team. In the 2012/13 season he had his world cup debut, competing alongside his older brother Tarjei Bø, Emil Hegle Svendsen, Ole Einar Bjørndalen, Rune Brattsveen, and others.

In January/February 2013 during the Junior World Championship in Obertilliach, Austria, Thingnes Bø won the silver medal in sprint, gold in the 12.5 km pursuit, and gold in the 7.5 km relay.

Thingnes Bø got his first World Cup win on 14 December 2013 in the sprint and his second the day after with a win in the pursuit. He won three more World Cup races in Kontiolahti, two sprints and one pursuit.

Coming into the 2015/16 season, Thingnes Bø was again considered a potential challenger to the stranglehold rival Martin Fourcade held on the World Cup. However, a disappointing start to the season ruined Thingnes Bø's aspirations in the overall World Cup, and he subsequently changed his focus to the 2016 Biathlon World Championships at home grounds in Holmenkollen, Oslo. The first success came when Thingnes Bø won the World Cup sprint race in Ruhpolding ahead of fellow countrymen Emil Hegle Svendsen and his older brother, Tarjei Bø. In the World Championships in March 2016, Thingnes Bø won the Mass Start race when he outsprinted Martin Fourcade and Ole Einar Bjørndalen on the final lap.

He married Hedda Kløvstad Dæhli on 30 June 2018. They have one child (born 2020)
