Biathlon World Cup – level 1

26-12-2024 07:00

Tarjei Boe from Norway wins a big race in Annecy Le Grand Bornand. He finishes in 37:20.8.

The track is hard to ski because of heavy rain. The rain makes the track soft. Boe is very good at shooting. It helps him win. The Norwegian team does well. Many racers are in the top positions.

The race is exciting. Young racers started fast. But Boe stays calm. He waits to go faster later. Many racers miss their targets. It is hard for them to win.

Boe’s win is important for his future races. His brother Johannes is very happy for him and proud of his success.

Difficult words: race (a competition of speed), exciting (making you feel excited and happy), proud (feeling happy because you or someone else does something great).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What factor contributed to Tarjei Boe's victory in the race at Annecy Le Grand Bornand, and how did his performance impact the Norwegian team's overall standing?
