The second place goes to Tove Alexandersson and Ulrik Nordberg (+01:10). Alexandersson also won the individual sprint on Monday and now also holds two medals. "The deep snow was challenging, we really wanted to win, but the russian team was better today." says Alexandersson. Her partner Nordberg won the bronze medal on the previous day.
