The Swedish veteran Britta Johansson Norgren was in charge of a show in Saturday's stage of Ski Classics.
She won over 10 kilometers - and was long before not least the Russian Olympic skiers who competed.
The 38-year-old was just over two minutes ahead of Anastasia Rygalina and Tatiana Sorina.
- I had not thought that it would be so much.
But it's fun to show those who watch that the class of women's skiing in long distance running is so high, says Johansson Norgren after the victory.
She has a tip for the Russian riders.
- I think that many would benefit from developing their technology and staking.
Then they would be stronger all the way.
