A sextuplet for men and a hat-trick for women, the Norwegians were too strong during the 10 km of Lillehammer, with, as the icing on the cake, the victory of the returning Therese Johaug.
But give them opponents. The Lillehammer 10 km turned into the Norwegian championship. No one other than the Vikings was able to face the Scandinavian armada who first achieved a sextuplet among the men, even in the absence of boss Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. Victory went to Martin Løwstrøm Nyenget who won ahead of Simen Hegstad Krüger and Harald Østberg Amundsen. All in all, there are 10 Norwegians among the top 13 in the competition.
The women are not left out with a hat-trick and the victory of the returning Therese Johaug. Already on the podium last week in Ruka, the multiple world and Olympic champion, who came out of retirement after a two-year break, won her first success since her return, her 101st on the circuit, including individual and team competitions. . The young mother won ahead of Heidi Weng and Astrid Øyre Slind.
-Swiss cross-country skiers are very far behind in the rankings. Among the men, Beda Klee takes 36th place, while among the women Nadja Kälin, the best representative is only 42nd.
