In the Tour de Ski, Edvin Anger shocked when he struck with his first podium finish in a distance race under the Tour de Ski. And since then, he has continued to show that he is more than just a sprinter.
The Swede finished just outside the podium in Italian Cogne and finished fourth.
The Swede maintained an even and fine pace, and managed to squeeze in between the Norwegian skiers on fourth place, 19.4 seconds behind.
It means that the job is done. What I've done over the past two months is not just temporary. It's a good level in the body, and it's fun to ski like that, he says to Viaplay.
But as for the victory, there was no further drama. Harald Østberg Amundsen won with almost a 12-second margin down to his compatriot Iver Tildheim Andersen. Even the third place became Norwegian, and was taken by Martin Amundsen.
Berglund with personal best
Anger was not the only Swede who impressed. Gustaf Berglund also delivered a very fine performance on Sunday.
The 26-year-old finished seventh, and thus took his first individual top 10 finish in the World Cup.
Afterwards, he was at least pleased with the day.
I didn't think this about myself. I'm very positively surprised. I must admit that I was very worried about the skis, how they would be after last weekend in Engadin. Then I put them on, and they were completely perfect. So I would like to give Svanebo (Anders, wax technician) a big hug, he says in Viaplay.
Dahlqvist in continued fine form
Maja Dahlqvist stood for a successful victory in the sprint on Saturday, and on Sunday, the 30-year-old continued to show fine form even in a distance race ahead of the World Championship in just over three weeks.
Dahlqvist became the best Swedish and finished, after a strong finish, in tenth place.
Even Elina Rönnlund stood for a fine race and finished in 14th place. It's a new personal best for the 28-year-old.
Jessie Diggins won, who made up with Norwegian Astrid Øyre Slind for the victory. But the American became too tough even today, and won 5.1 seconds ahead of the Norwegian. Third became Kerttu Niskanen, 15.4 seconds behind.
