Not since 1st January 2017 have the men raced the 10km classic, so there was a lot of tension when skiing around the course before the race. Even though the home favorite Iivo Niskanen could not attend this weekend (do to covid), it was a big crowd who cheered the athletes around the course.

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo who already took the yellow World Cup leader bib yesterday, had his eyes on another victory. With a grand margin of 20 sec, he crossed the finish line and celebrated his 50th individual victory.

It was though out there, but I tried to open pretty controlled, but the last 5km I really tried to take it all out.– Johannes Høsflot Klæbo
