Klæbo back from concussion, wins straight away

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo continues to dominate. The Norwegian skiing star claimed his 15th World Cup victory of the season when he won the classic 10-kilometre race.

The snowfall made skiing difficult in Lake Placid, USA. But one skier who has shown he can master all distances and weather conditions is Klæbo.

The overall World Cup winner - who won six of six Olympic gold medals in Italy in February - showed that the concussion from the fall in the sprint semi-final in Drammen, Norway, just over a week ago was no obstacle.

The Norwegian led the individual one-mile race from start to finish, winning by 14 seconds over second-place Andreas Fjorden Ree of Norway. Third came fellow Norwegian Mattis Stenshagen.

Leo Johansson was the best Swede in ninth place, his best-ever finish in an individual World Cup race. Truls Gisselman finished tenth.
