The women's race had no history, too Kowalczyk higher than the opponents in the race. The Polish, which will also be the big favorite to win the crystal ball has dominated since the qualifiers, he closed with the fastest time, then going on to win by scattering all the evidence to the final. Second place went to Evgenia Shapovalova, separated by seven seconds better than a group of three Russian piazzatesi behind Kowalczyk. Third fact is Julia Tikhonova, fourth Natalia Matveeva, round out the top six positions the hostess Mona Lisa Malvalehto and the Slovak Alena Prochazkova.
Among the men, instead of success Alexey Poltoranin, who in the light of the ills of Northug and Cologna can become a serious contender for the crystal ball. The Kazakh, perhaps the greatest specialist in stride currently in circulation, easily exceeds the Finn Ari Luusua and Russian Anatoliy Volkov. Completing the top6 for the finalists the Czech Ales Razym fourth, the fifth'' Estonian Peeter Kummel and the'' other Finnish Martti Jylhä sixth. Out in the battery instead Anssi Pentsinen, which had recorded the fastest time in qualifying.
