“I think that this year I got better at a distance, I have a fight in two 50 km races in a row, which, of course, makes me happy.

A year ago, this was not the case, which means that something was done correctly, "- quotes the words of Klebo NRK.

At the World Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany, Klebo was the first to cross the finish line in the classic 50 km marathon, but was disqualified for contact with Russian Alexander Bolshunov, and in a similar race at the final stage of the World Cup in Engadine, Switzerland, the Norwegian finished fourth, ahead of Bolshunov.

Klebo finished third in the overall World Cup standings, and at the World Championships he won three gold medals.

Earlier, Klebo said whether it was essential for him to get ahead of Bolshunov in the last race of the season.
