With a few weeks left until the World Championship in Trondheim, William Poromaa is now waiting for a high-altitude camp in Italian Lavazé.
It's just a matter of fixing a provisional passport first.
Yes, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, says the 24-year-old after the national championship win.
William Poromaa took his first World Cup victory in Les Rousses in January. Now he took an overwhelming national championship gold on the same distance, 20 kilometers in classical style.
National team colleague Jens Burman kept up for more than half the race, but in the end, Poromaa won with over a minute to spare.
The dominant victory was another fine form test ahead of the World Championship in Trondheim, which begins on February 26.
Yesterday was a bit slow-started. But it feels like the form is starting to come and the feeling today was very good. It was fun to ski today, says William Poromaa.
I felt that Jens didn't want to pull as much, so I understood that he was starting to get a bit tired.
Jens Burman had to settle for silver, while Gustaf Berglund snatched bronze.
The women's mass start developed in a similar way. The Piteå duo Ebba Andersson and Emma Ribom got a gap in the lead, but after more than half the race, Ribom had to let go and Andersson pulled away in solitary majesty to an overwhelming national championship gold.
Ebba Andersson also has a good feeling ahead of the World Championship.
The body and form have felt progressively better, if you think from the "tour" and onwards. So it's just a matter of trying to spin it further and get a few more good weeks, before it's really time, she says to SVT.
Andersson crossed the finish line more than a minute ahead of Ribom. Moa Lundgren took bronze.
