As expected Therese Johaug easily recovers the gap by Astrid Jacobsen on ramps Cermis and won his first Tour de Ski

Johaug long should thank the whims of the ills of Bjoergen and Kowalczyk, who probably saw the two of them in the race until the end would hardly be able to prevail. The twenty-five Norwegian has not had an easy life too, since it's only on the ramps Cermis failed to get the better of an Astrid Jacobsen never so strong. For the triplet Norway is also considering the good recovery of Heidi Weng from sixth to third place, and it is also the first-ever victory - including men - in the final standings of the Tour de Ski, made quite surprising when you consider how the subjects of King Harald V are the rulers of skiing since its inception.
Johaug reaches a height of eighteen career victories as that was also the author of the best time to climb the Cermis, company that obtained for the fifth consecutive time, for she is also the sixth win in the World Cup, and the first in the ranking end of a multistage event. And with 400 points forfeited in cutting the finish line first place on the Cermis also takes the lead in the overall standings of the World Cup with almost 200 points of margin on Jacobsen and more than 300 of Bjoergen, which means that unless reversals Johaug or unfortunate incidents at the end of the season most likely will take home his first crystal ball.
On the final podium of the Tour de Ski as we find said Astrid Jacobsen and Heidi Weng for a total triumph Norwegian. Both obtained in this way their best ever result at the Tour de Ski, with the youngest of the three on the podium very good at regular sprint Krista Lähteenmäki, first and fourth at the end of a platoon of Finnish which also includes Kerttu Niskanen and Anne Kyllonen, fifth and sixth respectively. Of note is the excellent performance of Elizabeth Stephen, at the end of the seventh and fourteenth game in the second half of the climb.
Fair on the last leg of the Italian. Debora Agreiter closes the twenty-fifth, catching up eight places and getting his best result of the season. World Cup points for Ilaria Debertolis twenty-eighth and thirtieth Elisa Brocard, while Virginia De Martin Topranin did not show up at the start.
