Second consecutive win for Kikkan Randall who won the sprint free technique Szklarska Poreba in front of Denise Herrmann and Vesna Fabjan.
Saturday 18 January 2014 3 minutes reading time
For Randall is the tenth victory in the World Cup, all resulting in sprint free technique. Today, the U.S. has not had an easy life like seven days ago in Nove Mesto as Denise Herrmann has remained in the lead throughout the final, being surpassed only last corner. Without history the sprint, with the American who has relied on his experience in front of the younger German, which still remains in command of the ranking of specialties.
Third place went to surprise Vesna Fabjan, the first podium of the season. The Slovenian must thank the contact between Laurien Van Der Graaf and Jessica Diggins last corner, which caused the collapse of both giving the lowest rung of the podium at the Slovenian, good at adjusting the hostess Sylwia Jaskowiec, fourth and the best result in the World Cup. At the end of the fifth and sixth place for Diggins Van Der Graaf.
Unfortunately for the Italian Gaia Vuerich not repeat the exploits of last week were eliminated in the semifinals. Unfortunate that instead Greta Laurent, after posting the fastest time in qualifying, was the victim of a contact and consequent fall in with Nika Razinger battery, coming immediately deleted. Same fate for Justyna Kowalczyk, the only big race, but his debacle - that is not given the results in this seasonal specialty - was not caused by any external event.
