Johan Kristoffersson, who started in the first stage, set the start and got a gap directly in the final. After three laps, Kristoffersson was a full 1.5 seconds ahead of Juha Rytkönen who chased closest.

Before the last lap, Kristoffersson had extended the lead to 3.5 seconds and the 31-year-old was able to take the second victory of the season in the World Cup series without threat.

- I got off to a very good start, just like I have had all day. I really have to thank the team who put in an incredible amount of work, says Kristoffersson.

Kristoffersson won both qualifiers, semifinals and finals and took the full pot on Saturday.

- It feels very good to have won everything today, he says.

The victory means that Kristoffersson extends the overall lead ahead of tomorrow's fourth World Cup competition, which is also being run in Kouvola, Finland. Kristoffersson tops with 86 points, 16 points ahead of second Mattias Ekström.

During the premiere weekend in Hölje's last weekend, there were tough duels between Kristoffersson and Ekström. For Kristoffersson, it was a victory on Saturday while Ekström won Sunday's competition.

But there was no similar duel in Kouvola. Ekström, who showed class in the qualifiers, was narrowly knocked out in the semifinals after finishing sixth and last.
