Beda Klee finishes the Tour de Ski in 5th place.

The Norwegian Harald Östberg Amundsen was celebrated as the winner of the stage race. Fourth in the dreaded mass start test with a gradient of up to 28 percent, he hardly lost any ground. The remaining podium places went to the German Friedrich Moch and the French Hugo Lapalus. Another Frenchman, Jules Lapierre, became the winner of the day.

Klee approached the race tactically. The 27-year-old Swiss chose his own pace from the start in the final stage. Theoretically, the Tour podium would still have beckoned, but the risk of a collapse would have been too great. The gap to the Tour de Ski podium was ultimately 35 seconds, half a minute away from the podium of the day.

“Fifth place is still surreally good,” Klee emphasizes. “I started the Tour de Ski with the aim of finishing in the top 20.” Klee earned the coup with balanced performances on the long stages in both styles. Before the Tour de Ski, he had never been better than eleventh place in the World Cup, but now he finished in the top ten in four stages.

Klee’s 5th place finish is quite remarkable. Besides Dario Cologna, only Curdin Perl achieved a top ten ranking in the Tour de Ski in 2011 with a fourth place. Among the women, the highest feeling was Nathalie von Siebenthal’s 8th place twice.

Cyril Fähndrich, the surprise third place on Saturday, arrived at the summit of Alpe Cermis in 22nd place. This resulted in the final position in 13th place. A total of 53 runners completed the Tour de Ski. (SDA)
