Nothing unusual these days, but the fact that seven Norwegians took the top spots illustrates once again how tangible their dominance is.
As if things weren't bad enough for the Swedish team in the last World Cup competition before the Olympics, recently selected Calle Halfvarsson had a disastrous race.
He finished 56th, over six minutes behind the winner, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, with Emil Iversen and Harald Østberg Amundsen closest behind him.
Klæbo won gold in all six distances at the 2025 World Championships and will be a big favorite at the Olympics in Val di Fiemme.
