Norwegian biathlete Johannes Boe told that he was recently attacked by a viper. It happened when the athlete was gardening at his home in Kongsvinger.
Johannes Boe, quoted by NRK
When I came home, I noticed that my leg was bleeding, and I found two bites. It wasn't hard to figure out what had happened. I felt safe, and I was taken care of. I hope this viper will give me some magical superpowers like those Spider-Man got after the spider bite.
The Norwegian said that before the incident with the snake, he also had a series of misfortunes. First, the biathlete had conjunctivitis, then he injured his back on the trampoline, and later hit the wall while training on the ski treadmill.
Boe is a five-time Olympic champion and winner of 17 world championship gold medals.
