Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen impressed a lot at the mass start in Otepää.

The Norwegian shot full and took home the victory before the Frenchman Quentin Fillon Maillet.

It also became Norwegian in third place when Sivert Guttorm Bakken took his first podium place in the World Cup.

Sebastian Samuelsson was impressed by the Norwegians' skis.

- Damn what skis they have today.

I have never seen anything like it, says Sebastian Samuelsson.

Broke the pole on the sprint lap

Samuelsson had the chance for a long time for a nice placement, but despite only a boom, he finished in ninth place.

The Swede lost a lot of time on the sprint lap.

The reason: A broken rod.

- I broke the pole on the sprint lap.

I put the rod between my legs, it was sour.

I otherwise felt strong and thought I would make it to the top 6, he says and continues:

- There were many who shot well today so it was important to put the shots.

I lose a little on the fastest and it wears a little on the forces.

But I am very happy with 19 hits, says Samuelsson.
