Next weekend is the Swedish season premiere in Bruksvallarna.

But this season already started the season in Finland, with competitions in Muonio.

20.4 seconds victory

The one who impressed most there was 27-year-old Iivo Niiskanen. Yesterday he won the 10 km classic, a full 39.8 seconds ahead of Russian Alexander Bolshunov.

And today it was victory again. At 15km freestyle he was 20.4 seconds ahead of second Denis Spitsov. Yesterday's second (Bolshunov) was not included.

Even on the women's side, it was the same winner as yesterday: Natalija Neprayaeva, Russia. She was 15 seconds ahead of Kerttu Niskanen.
