Fosser Takes Fifth World Championship Gold

The 27-year-old Norwegian secured victory by 13 seconds ahead of Frenchman Guilhem Verove, with Finland's Tuomas Heikkila taking bronze. Fosser expressed satisfaction with his performance despite errors, saying 'I have it extremely good. I put so much into it and have focused on every little detail leading up to this championship.'

This latest gold adds to Fosser's impressive collection, which includes long distance titles in 2021, 2023 and 2025, sprint gold in 2022, and relay gold last year. Among Norwegians, Lukas Liland finished 24th, while Eirik Langedal Breivik was disqualified for missing post number 15. tbzikra.org
