At the Milano Cortina Olympic Games, Norwegian athlete Johannes Dale-Skjevdal achieved a remarkable victory in the men's 15 km mass start biathlon event, completing the race without any shooting errors and clocking a time of 39 minutes and 17.1 seconds. This victory not only secured him gold but also marked his first Olympic medal, a significant milestone in his sporting career. Prior to this event, Dale-Skjevdal had shown promise, finishing sixth in both the sprint and pursuit events in Anterselva and tenth in the standard distance race, but he had not qualified for the relay teams.

Dale-Skjevdal’s teammate, Sturla Holm Lägreid, also had a noteworthy performance, finishing in second place and adding to his impressive medal collection, which included silver in the pursuit and relay events and bronze in both the standard and sprint distances throughout the Games. This demonstrates the strength of the Norwegian biathlon team, with Lägreid medaling in every event he participated in, though he did not compete in mixed relay.

Quentin Fillon Maillet from France took home the bronze medal, displaying resilience by advancing from fourteenth position after the last shooting round to finish third, overtaking Germany’s Philipp Horn. These performances highlight the competitive nature of biathlon at the Olympics and signify a successful event for Norway, particularly in showcasing their athletes' skills on a global stage.
