Norway's biathlon champion, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen has retrieved his rifle after reporting earlier that it had been lost on his way home from the Winter Olympics.
The rifle had been delayed together with his luggage and arrived in Zurich on a later flight, RIA Novosti reported.
Earlier Bjoerndalen, who is the most decorated Winter Olympic athlete of all time, reported that his rifle had gone missing while flying to Zurich from the Russian Olympic host city Sochi.
"If the rifle is not found it will be a very big problem for me," he said earlier.
Now that Bjoerndalen has been reunited with the rifle and his luggage, he will continue his trip home to Norway.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
