Pellegrino returns to the podium in Pokljuka, victory for Chanavat, among the two Swedish women with Sundling and Nilsson

In the third sprint of the season the first podium of the season finally arrived for Pellegrino, who in the final only surrendered to the French Chanavat.

The Valle d'Aosta, after having printed the second half in qualifying, performed well both in the quarterfinals and in the semifinals, both won by authority. In the final he finally dueled for success with Chanavat, who after having climbed the last climb in the head, flew towards the first career success in the World Cup. Second place therefore for the blue that managed to put the Norwegians Valnes and Skar behind. In the women's field, a Swedish brace came, signed by Jonna Sundling, to the second success in the World Cup and Stina Nilsson, who conquered the first podium of the season. Third place surprisingly for the young American Julia Kern, capable of preceding the most quoted compatriot Sophie Caldwell. She did not go beyond the fifth position in front of the public friend Anamarija Lampic, while Linn Svahn finished sixth, falling in the final when he was in full fight for the victory. Instead, the adventure of the Norwegian Maiken Caspersen Falla, involved in a fall with his partner Skistad, stopped in semi. In the blue house, Greta Laurent and Alice Canclini entered the points area, both out in the quarterfinals. However, Lucia Scardoni and Francesca Franchi, 31st and 34th respectively, did not pass the hurdle.
