In heavy rain, Ebba Andersson defeated Therese Johaug to win the World Championship gold in skiathlon. Continued rain in Trondheim is expected to benefit Swedish skiers who have hit the mark with their wax for salted tracks.

"It’s clear that it means a lot and feels safer and less of a search than it would be if it hadn't started this way," said Sweden's wax chief Anders Svanebo to Radiosporten.

"It’s almost like water skiing; it feels like winter is over here in Trondheim," Svanebo said.
