Way to the World Cup of cross-country skiing on the Finnish snows: nothing to do even for Scardoni and Laurent, amazing in the qualifying phase.
Friday 29 November 2019 2 minutes reading time
The classic sprints have opened the Ruka Triple and the World Cup season for a cross-country skiing that always speaks ... Norwegian.
Without history the two trials of opening, starting from the men with an impregnable Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, who massacred the competition even in the final, in front of compatriot Golberg and the French Jouve, with Bolshunov fourth.
Nothing to do for Federico Pellegrino, already out in the quarter-final with Golberg and Bolshunov, with the last place and the feeling that the Aosta Valley didn't hold up. The other qualified Italians, Maicol Rastelli and Francesco De Fabiani, were also out in the first elimination round, as well as a naive Ustiugov, out due to a double false start.
As for the women's race, the domain of Maiken Caspersen Falla was total, with the Norwegian taking the No. 20 pearl in the World Cup (and 50th podium), ahead of the Swedish Jonna Sundling (fifth Stina Nilsson, , still not at the top) and the American Sadie Bjornsen, who burns the other Norwegian Stenseth by a penny.
Blue remained disappointed, given the resounding performance in qualifying, given that Lucia Scardoni had signed the best time and immediately went out to the quarter-finals, like Greta Laurent, third in the morning.
