Haaland is increasing her speed in towards the finish line in Alta. Finnmarksløpets man in the track, Jørn Losvar, had this to report over the phone, as Tunheim passed Jotka:

-Inger Marie Haaland passed Jotka 51 minutes before Harald Tunheim. She has increased her speed compared to him. At Mollisjok I did an unofficial time check and it was 25 minutes between them. This means she has increased her lead over the last 30 kilometers in to Jotka. When Haaland left Jotka, she was galloping over the lake. Harald’s dogs had more of a calm trot. There was a definite difference between the dog teams.    

Anything can still happen. We remember Haalands parking yesterday and there is 58 km left to Alta.
