Hagen is head race from the first intermediate, increasing kilometer kilometer his advantage against Celia Aymonier, only able to ensnare more than half. In the end, however, the French were forced to surrender, finishing with 15.4 seconds ahead anyway and going to win the silver medal. The bronze instead ends up on the bulletin board of Schicho Elisabeth, who won gold in the sprint yesterday, and able to win against Ragnhild Haga, fighting to the last intermediate for the podium but in the end only fourth.
For Martine Ek Hagen, who turns 23 years old on April 4th is the second gold medal at the World Under 23: last year in Erzurum in fact it was set in the skiathlon race which will start as favorites in Val di Fiemme, also winning the bronze medal in the 10 km classic technique. In short, Norway continues to produce talent destined to maintain its flag high in the near future.
Unfortunately for the Italian: the best is Francesca Baudin, seventh in less than a minute from Hagen. So the other: Lucia Scardoni seventeenth, Deborah Agreiter twentieth and twenty-fourth Stuerz Giulia.
