From the middle of the race, Menning gained medal recognition and finished strongly.
On the other hand, it was not possible to beat the Spanish winner Carlos Arevalo, but Petter Menning still got a second place and a silver.
It was Menning's fifth WC medal in the discipline.
In 2013 he took gold, it was followed up with silver and bronze in 2014 and 2015. In 2021 it was again a podium place with a silver.
A feat he has now repeated.
