In the 2019–20 Cross-Country World Cup in Finland, Norwegian hero Johannes Klaebo has won the 1.4 km classic style sprint with an impressive performance. 

Klaebo was part of men’s opening sprint of season on Friday. The Norwegian fell behind compatriot Paal Golberg and France’s Richard Jouve who set an early pace.

However on the final hill Klaebo pulled away from the rest of the group in commanding fashion with his unique style of climbing.

He finished 4.17 seconds ahead of Golberg as Jouve secured a podium for France.
