Finland, Norway and Sweden.

This is the podium in the men's 15-kilometer classic race in Lahti.

There was nothing to do about the home favorite Iivo Niskanen.

The Finn decided the race the last five kilometers when he pulled away from the competitors.

But behind that, William Poromaa stood for the course of his life.

The Swede was at the top of most time trials and kept a steady pace all the way.

In the end, it was a second battle against Johannes Kläbo.

With 1.3 kilometers left to go, the 21-year-old from Malmberget was almost two seconds ahead.

But the sprint specialist from Norway finished strong and was four tenths ahead of the finish line.

Jonas Eriksson finished 17th in the race and took World Cup points for the first time.
