The Falun Sprint by Paal Golberg, fourth Federico Pellegrino

In the women's field the victory in the Sprint in classical technique is by the Swedish Linn Svahn.

In a very tight final on the difficult track of Falun the Norwegian colors impose themselves despite the absence of Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo. Paal Golberg got the upper hand, fresh from the second place obtained two weeks ago in Oberstdorf in the same technique, which precedes his compatriot Erik Valnes, the best time of the morning qualifying. The Russian Alexander Bolshunov, eager to gain ground in the overall World Cup standings, must settle for third place while Federico Pellegrino, after the first places in the preliminary rounds, closes in fourth position fighting for the podium up to the last meters. Fifth place for the Norwegian Taugboel and sixth for the Swedish Teodor Peterson. Maicol Rastelli, the author of the thirty-third time 4 tenths from qualification, Francesco De Fabiani thirty-fifth and Gilberto Panisi forty-second, were not among the best thirty. In the women's field, after the two victories in free technique in Davos and Dresden comes the first in alternation of the twenty year old Swedish Linn Svahn who precedes the Russian Natalia Neprayeva and her compatriot Jonna Sundling. Fourth place for Slovenian Lampic, leader of the specialty World Cup; Maken Caspersen Falla fifth place, Jacobsen sixth and Caldwell seventh. Greta Laurent, after passing the qualifying round with the 22nd time, stops in the third quarter final which closes in fifth position for the 23rd final place.
