Finnish skier Johanna Matintalo claimed her maiden FIS Cross Country World Cup win in the women's 20km classic mass start in Goms, Switzerland, edging out Jessie Diggins of the USA by 0.9 seconds. The 29-year-old, a short-distance specialist, timed her sprint perfectly on the final climb to finish ahead of Astrid Øyre Slind of Norway in third. This triumph comes just weeks before the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
