The credit for the success of the Norway is definitely Ingvild Flugstad Ostberg, who in his last lap, after having endured a shy attack Saarinen, the Finnish paint remover on the last climb, gaining about twenty meters ahead of the allow you to cross the finish line with his arms raised. Second place went to Finland I, with Saarinen try to wear down the enemy in every single village, but in the end you have to give up even in the sprint and defend from attack by Julia Ivanova, who can not sopravanzarla giving to Russia II, however, a great third place. The other finalists nations do not enter virtually never in the fight for the podium: The fourth is Russia (Dotsenko-Matveeva), fifth Norway II (Harsem Brun-Lie), the sixth United States (Sargent-Caldwell), seventh Slovenia (Cebasek-Visnar), eighth Sweden II (Norgren-Erikson), ninth Switzerland (Gruber-Van Der Graaf) and tenth France (Jean-Aymonier). As widely expected the two Italian couples (Laurent-De Martin and Vuerich Topranin-Debertolis) can not exceed the semifinals. TEAM SPRINT WOMEN NINE MESTO - FINAL STANDINGS 1.
