It would take a lot for someone to be able to beat the world champion from earlier this summer, Kasper Fosser.
OK Ravinen's Gustav Bergman was for a long time the one who managed to challenge the Norwegian on Idrefjället.
But a fatal mistake in the final part of the course became very costly.
The 30-year-old from Stockholm had already started to lose speed and then ran at one point in the wrong direction.
There he lost from hanging on to leading Fosser to letting go of both the Norwegian Magne Daehli and the Swiss Daniel Hubmann.
The Swede lost around four minutes in four kilometers.
Behind that, Emil Svensk and Isac von Krusenstierna finished in seventh and eighth place, respectively.
An hour earlier, Tove Alexandersson also failed to win at home.
The Swedish runners get a rest day before the next chance appears when the average distance is decided on Saturday.
