The final stage of the O-Ringen was decided with a chase start, but there was no real excitement.

Viktor Svensk, competing for Stora Tuna, won the final stage and extended the lead over his older brother Emil to a clear 2:41.

Viktor is the youngest of four brothers. Emil is the most successful of them, with three world championship gold medals, but this week it was Viktor who drew the longest straw.

In the women's class, Simona Aebersold was superior. The Swiss runner, who competes for IFK Göteborg, extended her lead over second-placed Tove Alexandersson of Stora Tuna, and the winning margin was ultimately 7:45.
