The first objective was the defense of the primacy in the sprint cup, considering all the unknowns that presented a race like that of Ulricehamn, and Federico Pellegrino's Swedish mission in this sense was successful.
Third place in the race won by Oskar Svensson, with the margin over the Russian Retyvikh which still remains good and a historical record signed by the 30-year-old policeman from Valle d'Aosta: today, in fact, "Chicco" has definitively detached the Norwegian Hattestad at the top of the ranking of those who have obtained more podiums in sprint races, both at the World Cup level (33 for the blue) and considering the great events such as the Olympics and the World Cup (36 the total in this case.
"I did not know what to expect from this race - Pellegrino confessed in the video released by the official channels of the FISI - This track did not allow me to express myself at best, I reasoned round by round and in the end the choice of the second semifinal paid off, since it is arrived an unexpected podium and torn with the teeth ".
The champion from Nus could also have fought for the success, but in the key moment he remained closed and only a great comeback from fifth place in which he found himself at the last corner, earned the photo finish a weighty podium. “I dedicate it to Steo, our coach who had to return home for family problems.
Now I look to tomorrow's sprint team with confidence. The World Cup? We have already been to Oberstdorf, we will return home a couple of days then we will move to Seefeld where we will be able to prepare ourselves in the best conditions to get 100% to the 'world championship event'.
