- I saw John-Øivind behind me all the way from Jotka. I am incredibly satisfied with the third place, said Mona Kolstad who represents the sled-dog club Mush at the finish line.

Rough experience

Earlier in the race Kolstad had to set out her best and most important leader. Then she understood that it would be difficult to fight for the victory.

- Edland and Meier drove faster than me, so all in all I am very satisfied, says Kolstad who won Femund 400 km one month ago.  She said that it is a big difference between the Fermund race and Finnmarksløpet.

- I'm proud of my dogs because it was mentally hard for them to run here. This has been a rough experience, said Mona Kolstad.

Impressive fourth place

John Øivind Selmer, Porsgrunn, also from the sled- dog club Mush, came in as number 4, at 23:13, just 5 minutes after Kolstad.
