Ulrik Nordberg and Tove Alexandersson from Team Sweden won today’s sprint relay with over one minute gap to a second team. Team Finland 1 with Ville-Petteri Saarela and Salla Koskela was second and team Russia 2 with Vladimir Barchukov and Mariya Kechkina third.

Both members of Swedish team were very satisfied to their races. ”I might have had one wrong route choice, but otherwise it was a very good race”, said Ulrk Nordberg, who already took his second victory in Ylläs. Tove Alexandersson described the competition technical. In the end there was some up-hill. Forkings were done so that Tove didn’t see much other competitors. ”It was fun”, Tove said.
