Johannes Høsflot Klæbo took his 100th World Cup victory in Friday's sprint. In Saturday's skiathlon, the world's best skier achieved his next victory. Klæbo finished first in 43.49.4 and his 101st World Cup victory was secured.
On the podium in Trondheim he was joined by compatriots Harald Østberg Amundsen and Emil Iversen.
All top eight positions were taken by Norwegians. The best non-Norwegian was Austrian Mika Vermeulen who came in ninth.
Criticizing the skis
The Swedes had a tougher day. Edvin Anger was the best Swede in 24th place, 1 minute and 16 seconds behind Klæbo.
"The feeling is still okay, that's what it is, but I'm using the wrong skis on the skate, the wrong type of ski. It felt like the skis were five centimeters under the snow or something," says Anger.
William Poromaa, who made his World Cup debut for the season, came in 28th place, 1 minute and 17 seconds behind.
It was more or less as expected. It was tough and I really tried to fight all the way, no matter how bad I was. It's clear that it's tough mentally to be where you feel you shouldn't be. I knew it would be tough mentally and it was, Poromaa tells Viaplay.
It still feels good to just fight your way through and succeed, it's like a win in itself. Of course, the result is secondary on a day like this.
Gustaf Berglund ended up in 32nd place, Johan Ekberg in 41st place, and Erik Rosjö in 42nd place.
Myhlback 46th
Alvar Myhlback was the name on everyone's lips yesterday after the 19-year-old's roar in the sprint where he took his first podium in the World Cup when he came third. On Saturday, the young talent finished in 46th place, 2 minutes and 11 seconds behind the lead.
It was tough, that's what it was. Unfortunately I feel pretty energetic, but that's to be expected really. Classics are going perfectly fine, but then it's dumb to skate. But I had a damn good workout, and I'm no better than this, so it's what it is, says Myhlback.
