Ebba superior
By far the fastest of all on the women’s side was the superb Ebba Andersson who crossed the finish line in 37 minutes and 17 seconds.

On the men’s side was William Poromaa fastest of all skiers and crossed the finish line in an impressive 33 minutes and 28 seconds second of all runners.

– So this was good. Better than I dared to believe.
