hckošice 13,217 Posted March 18, 2017 Author #211 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Klaebo gets first distance World Cup win Just one day removed from becoming the youngest ever winner of the sprint crystal globe, Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won his first ever World Cup distance competition. Klaebo won the second stage of the World Cup finals in Quebec City, Canada in the 15 km mass start competition. He over took his teammate Niklas Dyrhaug on the homestretch for the win by 0.5 seconds. Russia's Alexander Bessmertnykh took third just 0.8 behind Klaebo. It was a high pace that stretched the field out early but leading group of approximately 20 athletes broke away and finished all within 15 seconds of the winning time by Klaebo. Klaebo now leads the mini tour standings after two stages by 22.8 seconds ahead of Dyrhaug. Local favourite Alex Harvey of Canada sits third in the standings and will start the pursuit just 0.5 seconds behind Dyrhaug. The final stage will be a free technique 15 km pursuit start competition to end the 2017 FIS Cross-Country World Cup season.
