After the finish, where Norberg was fourth over the finish line, he submitted a protest.

But it did not apply to the outcome from Lageholm's dog, but it was against Timo Silvola, as the two crews had hooked together during the course of the race.

Norberg was vindicated for his protest, which meant he took over third place and the WC bronze, after Silvola lost the silver.

The SM gold went to Sebastian De Wall and the silver went to Lageholm instead.
