- They have really ridden to the top of their ability all the Swedish riders.

Glad to see that William Poromaa was involved in playing the game for so long, says SVT Sports expert Anders Blomquist about the 20-year-old World Cup debutant Poromaa.

Norway won.

Johannes Hösflot Kläbo was waiting for Russia's Alexander Bolsljunov and easily sprinted home the eleventh straight World Cup gold in the sprint hill.

Otherwise, things started badly for Norway.  

Norway lost almost a minute on the first leg

Pål Golberg, who made the wrong choice and drove with glue under the skis, was ten and lost 57 seconds to the Russian federation's Alexej Chervotkin who took an early jerk and left the field far behind.

- It was shit quite simply.

I had a lousy feeling, says Golberg who was relieved to see that Emil Iversen repaired the miss on his second leg and paved the way for the expected gold.

Sweden's Johan Häggström rode with rough skis and ran a controlled race.

He was eight, 54 seconds behind Chervotkin.

"Vallateamet has taken revenge"

- I really wanted to go all the way but did not really have the strength in the last climb.

I had really good skis so the wall team has taken revenge, says Häggström.

Although Ivan Yakimushkin had a 45-second lead, he was caught in the heavy snowfall even before riding five kilometers of the second leg.

Then six teams with, among others, Sweden's Oskar Svensson were together.

Svensson held the race well together and was 21 seconds behind Norway as fifth in the change. 

Svensson: "The worst thing I have done"

- It was crazy, the worst thing I did.

It was extremely tough but it felt good, says Svensson who had the third best time on the second leg.

Big race by Burman

Jens Burman made a big race on the third leg and changed as third.

He was 26 seconds behind Norway who had put in the 15 km world champion Hans Christer Holund, who gave Johannes Hösflot Kläbo a clear lead.

On the stretch, Burman lost only four seconds on Holund.
