In the women's field, Marit BjÃ¸rgen has placed his own inevitable winning signature. The thirty-eighth Norwegian has set its own rhythm to the opponents since the first of the 10 km scheduled. In this way the Norwegian phenomenon has progressively skimmed the group. Alfine only Charlotte Kalla, Lysebotn Opp winner, was able to resist them. However at sprint the Swede had to bend to the biggest fondista of all time, so he could celebrate success. The thirty-year-old of TÃ¤rendÃ¶ was, however, the only "intruder" in the top quarters of the rankings, for the rest of the monopolies by Norwegians. The podium is in fact completed by Maiken Caspersen Falla, which in flight has set a small group of ten units. Fourth Ragnhild Haga and Fifth Barbro KvÃ¥le. Heidi Weng was satisfied with the tenth position, just ahead of Krista Parmakoski. The only blue player involved, Virginia De Martin Topranin, finished the twentieth. Registered, but it does not match, Debora Roncari. BLACK FESTIVALEN - MASS START FEMMINILE 1. BJÃ˜RGEN Marit (NOR) 21'25 "2 2. KALLA Charlotte (SWE) a 0" 6 3. FALLA Maiken Caspersen (NOR) 8 "3 4.

In fact two thirds of the competition, a troupe made by Russian Sergey Ustiugov and Norwegians Hans Holund and Sindre Skar gained ground on the group. During the last round Skar launched an attack, which "faltered" his countryman, but not the terrible Siberian. Withstood the assault, Ustiugov unleashed all his horses and won by detachment. However, Skar has defended the honor square, while Holund, who was sucked by the group, finished fifth. The podium was then completed by Swedish Teodor Peterson, while fourth was frantically placed by Frenchman Samuel Gianiasso. Sesto Matti Heikkinen, while IIvo Niskanen finished twelfth. It should be noted that neither Martin Johnsrud Sundby nor Petter Northug took part in the competition. The second, in particular, is with a sinusitis. BLINK FESTIVALEN - MASS START MASK 1.
