Eric Perrot won the men’s twenty-kilometre individual in Kontiolahti in 44:55.7 with twenty clean targets. His fourth victory of the season secured his first small Crystal Globe, completing the individual standings on 211 points against Johan-Olav Botn’s 141 in second place.
Sturla Holm Laegreid and Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen also shot clean, finishing 29.9 and 47.9 seconds behind. Lukas Hofer completed another perfect shooting performance in fourth, recording his best twenty-kilometre result, while Philipp Nawrath and Martin Uldal filled the remaining leading six positions.
Perrot led from the first prone stage despite moderate crosswinds on the range. His closest opponents reduced the deficit during the second prone bout, but strong final-loop skiing extended the winning advantage.
