Olympic champion and 6-time world biathlon champion Sturla Laegreid, together with his countryman Martin Uldal (winner of the World Youth Championships), supported Ukrainian biathlete Dmytro Pidruchnyi. During a flower ceremony after the sprint at the 4th stage of the World Cup in Oberhof, Germany, the Norwegians helped our compatriot unfurl the flag of Ukraine.
Podruchnyi finished fourth. Uldal and Laegreid were fifth and sixth, respectively.
"I was holding one flag, and Sturla offered to join me, to support me. Uldal also said he wanted to help," Pidruchnyi shared his emotions in an interview with Supilne.
