A winning streak that seems never to end and touches 17 consecutive sprints, also considering the Seefeld world race, for a total of 37 pearls in the World Cup overall. Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is also the absolute master in Konnerud, in the sprint in free technique that replaced Drammen (a handful of km away), for the eleventh appointment of specialties that saw Federico Pellegrino go out (for only 3 cents) quarter-finals and say goodbye to cup hopes, after the 8th time in a qualifying session that had already seen the other Azzurri De Fabiani, Hellweger, Armellini and Zelger come out. On the podium with Klaebo, only a lot of Norway as there was a hat-trick with Taugboel second and Brandsdal third, while the triumph of the Vikings was completed by Skar 4th and Valnes 6th, with only Bolshunov, fifth, in a final to sense single. Italy that lost Lucia Scardoni in qualifying among women, while Greta Laurent came out in the quarterfinals after the best career result obtained in the previous sprint of Are won by Therese Johaug, now at rest. And the Swedes dominated the scene, with the success of Sundling in front of the Swiss Faehndrich and his compatriot Svahn, for an increasingly heated fight with a view to the sprint cup, also considering the fall of Lampic in the final (6th place). Now the very classic Holmenkollen weekend, then everyone in Canada towards the grand finale of the World Cup.
