Linn Svahn won again, and behind her there was a fierce sprint duel between Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling, after Sundling fell at the end of the final but quickly got back on her feet. Dahlqvist finished second and Sundling third – and for the second weekend in a row there was an all-Swedish podium in the women’s sprint. – We all just wanted to go for a triple again. I felt strong, it was fun to win again, says Svahn. It is the first time in his career that Svahn has taken four consecutive World Cup victories in sprints. First podium of the season For Dahlqvist, it was the first podium this season, and it was a long-awaited one. – It’s very, very fun. I felt like I needed this one. I don’t know, I have no words, I just want to cry, she says. Frida Karlsson, who last week took her first podium in the sprint, finished fourth in the final, and Emma Ribom finished fifth. – So it’s completely insane. It won’t work, but we are such a strong team right now. I’m very happy with the day, then I don’t have the sprint like Maja, Jonna and Linn, but I still feel that I’m keeping up decently, says Karlsson. For the home jump, also the only non-Swedish in the final, the Swiss Nadine Fähndrich, it was sixth place. Swedish men into the semis On the men’s side, Edvin Anger and Oskar Svensson made it to the semi-finals, but that was where it stopped for the Swedes. Norwegian star Johannes Høsflot Klæbo won ahead of Lucas Chanavat, France, and Håvard Solås Taugbøl, Norway.
