Sivert Guttorm Bakken (born 18 July 1998) is a Norwegian biathlete. He won the overall mass start title at the 2021–22 Biathlon World Cup.[1] He also won his first world cup race the same year, in the 15 kilometer mass start in Oslo Holmenkollen, on 20 March 2022.[2]
After a successful 2021–2022 season, Bakken was unable to return to competition the following season due to a heart problem, pericarditis, that the Norwegian national team doctor determined was likely due to the coronavirus vaccine.[3] He announced his intent to hopefully return during the 2023–2024 season, having resumed training, but has yet to have competed.[4]
Bakken is in a relationship with fellow biathlete Juni Arnekleiv.
