OSLO (AP) Martin Fourcade of France took his third biathlon worlds title Sunday, winning the 12.5 kilometer pursuit in 32 minutes, 56.5 seconds.
The Frenchman had already won the mixed relay and the sprint titles.
Fourcade, 27, who was perfect at the first two prone shooting stations, was then forced into three penalty loops after missing once in the first standing stop, and twice on the last station. His winning margin over Norway veteran Ole Einar BjorndaLen, 42, was 20.1 seconds.
In a duel between two more Norwegians, Emil Hegle Svendsen passed Johannes Thingnes Bo before the finishing area to take the third podium position, 31.2 seconds behind the winner..
