Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo won his third ‘Tour de Ski’ title on Sunday, as the 2022-23 tour concluded with the men’s 10km mass start free in Val di Fiemme (Italy): the Norwegian 26-year-old did not manage to continue his record-breaking streak of six consecutive wins in the same tour and had to settle for a sixth-place in the last event. That was however enough for Klaebo to retain his overall title from last year. Only one male skier, four-time champion Dario Cologna from Switzerland, has won Tour de Ski more times. Klaebo’s compatriot Simen Hegstad Krueger won the race as another Norwegian, Hans Christer Holund, claimed the second place, 4.8 seconds behind. Jules Lapierre from France finished third, his first Coop FIS Cross-Country World Cup podium. Klaebo won the overall title with a margin of 59.5 seconds down to No.2 Krueger, Holund grabbing the last overall podium spot to complete the Norwegian 1-2-3.
