Jacobsen, who because of health problems had participated so far only tested multistage Lillehammer, proves to be fit again, clocking the fastest time from the first intermediate and not giving anything in the end. For the 28-year old (birthday celebrated yesterday) it is victory number six all-inclusive career, the number 4 in the World Cup races, the second on the snows of Rybinsk after that obtained in a 15km mass start skating with the December 15, 2007. Jacobsen puts cos & Igrave; behind a 2014 difficult not only from a sporting point of view and allows Norway to reach a height of 27 consecutive successes in individual events of the first level in cross country female.
Second place went to Elisabeth Stephen, for the first time on the podium in a race of the World Cup. The US in fact had hit twice the top-three only in climbing to Cermis, but outside of stages of multistage events had never done better than fifth place. Third & egrave; Stefanie B & ouml; hler, to which the context of Rybinsk like a lot since l & rsquo; only podium finish of his career he had won on these snows six years ago. The German thanks to a strong finish resists the return of Yulia Tchekaleva, fourth and best of Russian landlord, and exceeds a Kristin St & oslash; rmer Steira that, returning after breaking his pelvis suffered in the summer, it proves to be still far from best condition to be able to compete on the distance, finishing fifth after remaining in the podium until the & rsquo; last intermediate.
Sixth for Martine Ek Hagen, seventh and eighth for the Russian Alevtina Tanygina and Natalja Iljina and ninth for the French C & eacute; lia Aymonier: for all four of these girls is the best result ever in World Cup races. Completing the top ten the Finnish Riitta-Liisa Roponen, strong game but the author of a steep fall in the final. Embarrassing evidence of Justyna Kowalczyk, the pi & ugrave; blazoned among the members: for her thirty-sixth place finish in 2:44 by Jacobsen unjustifiable bench & eacute; you gareggiasse technique to her less suitable.
Despite many absences, the Italian fail to shine. The best & egrave; Ilaria Debertolis, twentieth, and only in the points; Virginia De Martin Topranin ends thirty-eighth, while Lucia Scardoni & egrave; Forty.
With the first eight absent, nothing changes at the top of the overall standings of the World Cup: Bj & oslash; rgen & egrave; firmly in the lead with 1588 points compared to 1138 and 1017 to Johaug Weng; There & ograve; means that, given that it goes well all three fall in race & Öland; stersund between three weekends, the pi & ugrave; great distance runner of all time could close the game down arithmetically & agrave; before World Falun.

Era il 13 settembre 2025 quando, in quel maledetto sabato mattina in Cile, il velocista ligure finì a velocità elevatissima contro una staccionata, troppo vicina a bordo pista (e ora non più presente per gli allenamenti delle nazionali presenti anche quest'anno nella località). Due giorni dopo, a Santiago, Matteo si spense.
