WC-6 / NORT-3 Knock out sprint Final, part 2 (04/06/2013)

I ran well during the forked part, and was still in the lead when I left the 11th control. To the 12th control two other runners took the left route choice, and managed to catch 2 second to me, but I kept my lead. In the end of the races I just tried to keep a stable high speed, and run perfect technically so I could continue to stay in the front. It went well, but in the run in Fabian Hertner managed to pass with a few meters. It's a bit annoying to be so close to a World Cup victory, but I was really satisfied with my performance, and this was the first time I was top 3 in a WC race sine 2007.
