He was happily amazed at his flawless performance without any penalties in the sprint, with which he left compatriot Johannes Thingnes Bö (31) behind him in second place. The Swede Sebastian Samuelsson (27) came third.
The extremely strong performance left even Uldal speechless: “It was really fantastic. There's nothing else to say. It was great. Normally I'm pretty talkative, but now I'm not so talkative,” revealed the Norwegian.
