Norway's top star Johannes Thingnes Bø claimed a record-equalling 20th gold medal at biathlon world championships with a mass start victory on the final day of competition in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic on Sunday.
Bø is now level with compatriot Ole Einar Bjørndalen as the biathlete with most gold medals at world championships. A missed shot didn't make any difference and he completed the 15-kilometre race in 34 minutes 50.2 seconds.
"That's quite a few championship medals now. The last few years have been crazy," the 30-year-old told Norway's TV 2. "It's been a dream."
Bjørndalen - now a TV 2 expert - exclaimed: "Absolutely awesome!" as his compatriot shone again.
Andrejs Rastorgujevs of Latvia was a surprise second, claiming his maiden medal at a worlds, while France's Quentin Fillon Maillet took bronze.
This was Bø's third gold in Nove Mesto as Norway swept all four men's individual world titles. Bø missed the top spot on the podium only in the sprint, won by team-mate Sturla Holm Lægreid.
Norway, however, were stunned by Sweden on Saturday in the men's relay and finished second in the medals table, topped by France.
Earlier, Olympic mass start champion Justine Braisaz-Bouchet also claimed the women's discipline world title, completing the 12.5-kilometre race in 34 minutes 37.2 seconds with clean shooting.
Her result means France took three out of four gold medals in individual women's events, while the nation also won the women's relay and the two mixed relays.
"It was a perfect race in the perfect atmosphere. I haven't slept much lately, but it worked out perfectly. After I cleared the last target, my head was empty. I just felt pure joy, for me and the entire team. It was perhaps my best race ever," Braisaz-Bouchet said.
Italy's Lisa Vittozzi, the only athlete to break the French dominance in the women's events and take the 15km race world title, was second, while bronze also went to France thanks to Lou Jeanmonnot.
Julia Simon, who took gold in the sprint and pursuit races, was unusually sloppy in the shooting range and missed three targets. She finished in fourth.
France finished the world championships at the top of the medal table, with six golds, one silver and five bronzes.
At the end of the men's mass start, Germany's Johannes Kühn needed medical care at the finish after a fall. The 32-year-old slipped and then hit his head hard on the barrel of his weapon.
"It just hurt at first, but when I started up again I realized that there was blood on the ski," said Kühn, who finished 14th.
"I have a headache, but otherwise I'm fine."
