For the Finnish is the first career victory and second podium after his second place finish in La Clusaz last year. '' The Finnish athlete has taken over the reins of the situation'' from minus four to arrival, when he forced the pace trying several times to escape from the group of Norwegians that included Heidi Weng and Aino-Kaisa Saarinen Finnish, very '' brilliant quest today.
On the final straight, embarked for the first, twenty-five of Ouru has withstood the attacks of Astrid Jacobsen and Therese Johaug, who had tried to skim the group since the early kilometers.
Jacobsen, thanks to the'' good race, won the championship of the event, and it seems to be the'' most dangerous opponent for the most favored at this point after the withdrawal of Bjoergen, Therese Johaug that after the initial forcing withdrew the attacks, perhaps waiting for more favorable terrain (read 15km skating Dobbiaco or Cermis).
Who paid for heavy duty'' is the other Norwegian Steira that now seems too detached to be able to aspire to victory.
