Johannes Høsflot Klaebo makes history once again: the exceptional Norwegian athlete wins the prestigious Tour de Ski for the fifth time, continuing his impressive winning streak. But Klaebo wasn't the only one to shine – numerous other athletes from the Fischer Race Family delivered outstanding performances in the stage race around the turn of the year 25l26.

By crossing the finish line on the legendary Alpe Cermis, Klaebo secured a historic record: in the 20th edition of the Tour de Ski, he is the first athlete to win this competition five times.
After his opening victory in the sprint in Dobbiaco, the 29-year-old took the overall lead and confidently defended the leader's jersey throughout all six stages. In addition to the overall victory, the exceptional Norwegian athlete also won the sprint classification.

„It’s always fun to race the Tour and it’s always great to win.“

While Klaebo's success was expected, other results provided surprises. After already celebrating his first World Cup victory in the interval start in Dobbiaco, Mattis Stenshagen secured second place in the overall Tour de Ski standings with his victory in the final “Final Climb” and also won the “Climber” classification.
Teammate Emil Iversen impressively confirmed his Olympic ambitions with fifth place in the overall standings and second place in the “Climber” classification.
Junior World Champion Lars Heggen, also from Norway, showed no respect for big names on his tour debut, sprinting to second place behind Klaebo in his very first race. He defended this position in the sprint classification until the end and also celebrated sixth place in the overall standings.
There was also reason to celebrate in the women's event: Austrian Teresa Stadlober surpassed herself in the “Final Climb” and fought her way to second place in the overall standings and victory in the “Climber” classification.
Two other Fischer athletes followed in the overall standings: Heidi Weng from Norway and Ebba Andersson from Sweden. Julie Bjervig Drivenes from Norway made a name for herself in her first Tour de Ski with a strong fifth place in the overall standings.
