With snow conditions, made soaked by the pouring rain, lined up on the side of the best “cross-country skiers†of the lot, Tiril Eckhoff sets the fastest time on narrow skis and, despite an error in the first shooting session, he wins the second consecutive victory overtaking in the last lap a new-found Justine Braisaz (0 + 0) that on the finish line shows a delay of 6.2 seconds.
The third place goes to the twenty-one Czech Marketa Davidova (0 + 0), long at the head of the leaderboard, the only one in the first two laps able to maintain the rhythm of Eckhoff but down in the final round with a gap of 20.5 at the finish line where precedes an increasingly regular Svetlana Mironova (0 + 0) of only two seconds.
In the day that sees the winning power on skis, the German Denise Herrmann, the only one to maintain a gap in the bottom of less than 10 seconds from the winner, manages to conquer the fifth position despite two errors standing ahead of the Norwegian Tandrevold (0 + 1) who the results of this beginning of the season are being highlighted as the most dangerous competitor for the crystal ball.
The Belarusian Kryuko (0 + 0) is seventh, the French Julia Simon (0 + 1), the ninth Ukrainian Pidhrushna (0 + 0) and tenth Paulina Fialkova (0 + 1).
The worst season day comes for the Italians; Lisa Vittozzi is saved (1 + 0), fifteenth at the finish line at 1.06.4, while two errors in the second session bring down Dorothea Wierer, twenty-second to 1.19.5, which maintains 8 points ahead in the overall World Cup standings on Tandrevold. Federica Sanfilippo (2 + 1) is sixty-third at 2.30.9 from Eckhoff while Nicole Gontier (2 + 3) is seventy-sixth at 3.11.6.
