On Saturday came the toughest weather conditions with snow and wind, but also what shows how fantastic winter triathlon can be. Cycling on snow at over 50 kilometers per hour while the snow whips against the body created a championship for history. It naturally warmed the home crowd in Gausdal when Hans Kristian Tungesvik stormed to the men's gold medal and Ingrid Lorvik secured silver behind Italian Sandra Mairhofer.
