Nordic skiing: Norwegian Klaebo wins the Tour de Ski of cross-country skiers

Norway's dominator Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won the Tour de Ski for the third time.

Sixth place in the daily classification was enough for the 26-year-old on the final ascent to Alpe Cermis in Val di Fiemme. Klaebo had previously won six stages, setting a record. Klaebo's compatriot Simen Hegstad Krüger won the day ahead of Hans Christer Holund (both Norway). The two also complete the overall podium of the important cross-country event behind Klaebo.

Friedrich Moch, who surprisingly finished fifth in front of Klaebo in the final stage and finished the tour in eighth place overall, ensured a respectable success from a German point of view. Behind the strong Moch, the German men had no chance at the event.
