HISTORY 30 KM TO THE WORLD
Contrary to the male equivalent test, the 30 km is one of the newest format of the women's cross-country skiing. It was included in the World Championship program in fact only from Lahti in 1989, although in the previous five editions of the girls competed on 20 km, a distance that can be considered the mother of the current one. One that will be assigned to Lahti will be the 14th gold medal of 30 Km, the seventh in free technique, the fifth starting line.
In the golden of 30 Km rainbow appear only champion. The gold medals record belongs to Yelena Välbe, winning 3 times (1989, 1995 and 1997), but Marit Bjørgen could reach only so far as to have sets on 2 occasions (2005 and 2013) along with Therese Johaug ( 2011 and 2015), as well known, however, absent. Vaelbe and two Norwegian command at 4 including as regards the total number of medals: in addition to gold, 1 bronze for the Russian, 2 silver for the most successful long-distance runner of all time, 2 bronze medals for his younger compatriot. At an altitude of 3 overall medals we find Manuela Di Centa (2 Argenti, Gong in 1993 and Thunder Bay in 1995 and 1 Bronze, Fiemme 1991).
Di Centa is nevertheless exceeded in the medal Italian Stefania Belmondo: Piedmont boasts in fact just won the gold in Falun in 1993, which matched the silver in Trondheim 1997; A third probable medal, that of Lahti in 2001, was stripped from the chill that struck the Finnish locations and which forced the organizers to cancel the race, as temperatures fell below the limit of -20 °. The issue of Falun 1993 was historic for the color blue as the Belmondo victory ahead of Di Centa he is the only Italian one-two in the history of the world of the women's ski cross.
At the level of nations, the medal of the women's 30 km sees the command Russia with 4 Ori (that would be 6 because in 1989 and 1991 and Vaelbe Egorova won under the banner of the Soviet Union), 3 Silver (considering the 5 ' USSR) and 2 Bronzes ex aequo with Norway (4 Ori, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze) and the aforementioned Soviet Union (2 Gold and 2 Silver). Have at least 1 Gold also Italy, Finland and Poland, and Sweden, Ukraine and Estonia have won at least one medal less precious metal.
