The field of participants was not the first level, however, the second win in a row gives us a Julia Tikhonova in great shape and ready to have its say in the opening of the World Cup which will be held next weekend in Kuusamo. The Russian, after the victory in the sprint, also won the 5 km classic technique, ahead of 1 "5 Masako Ishida, a girl who flirted several times with the top 5 in the World Cup races in classic technique. Third place went to another Russian Svetlana Nikolaeva, just 3 "by 8 Tikhonova, demonstrating how this race was very tight. Among the top ten are four other Russian Larisa Shaidurova fourth, fifth Valentina Novikova, Mary Davydenkova sixth and seventh Natalija Iljna, three Kazakh Marina Matrossova eighth, ninth and Yelena Kolomina Viktoriya Lanchakova tithing.
Russian success among men. Vince Dmitriy Japarov, twenty-seven race specialist in alternating, but never on the podium of his career in top-level competitions. Japarov above 13 "7 Kazakh Denis Volotka and 16" 1 compatriot Alexander Bessmertnykh. Very interesting the result of Volotka, as suggests that Kazakhstan is putting on a competitive team and not based solely on Poltoranin. It is true that the field of participants was not extraordinary but Bessmertnykh is a guy already able to get on the podium in World Cup competition and was among others also a Maxim Vylegzhanin, only eight to 43 "by 5 Japarov. In the top10 are also Petr Sedov fourth, fifth Andrey Larkov, the Japanese and Akira Yoshida Keishin Lenting, sixth and seventh respectively, the other Kazakh Nikolay Chebotko ninth and tenth Anton Shatagin.
Tomorrow the three days of Inari will conclude with two races in distance freestyle.
