After watching batteries and especially semifinals extremely tactics, the final of the men's sprint Otep & auml; & auml; & Egrave; nothing short of amazing: the first roughness & agrave; Indeed Tomas Northug, come all & rsquo; final act not only by lucky loser, but also due to a fall on the final straight of Sergey Ustiugov that allows him to earn l & rsquo; last placement useful for the final, decisive attack. The other five will look and Norwegian accumulates in the blink d & rsquo; eye an advantage rarely seen in a men's sprint allowing him to walk in the final stretch and win their arms up his first ever victory in his career.
You see for the first time this season on the podium Ola Vigen Hattestad, who wakes up in the final too late and can not mend the & rsquo; wide margin obtained by Northug. The Olympic champion & egrave; however good at burning photo finish the Finn Toni Ketel & auml ;, surprise of the day the first podium of his career, as well as & eacute; only extra Norwegian able to place themselves among the top eight.
The rest of the finalists & egrave; in fact composed of P & aring; l Golberg fourth, by Finn H & aring; Krogh January fifth and sixth Sondre Fossli Turvoll; also were eliminated in the semifinals and finished seventh and eighth respectively Eirik Brandsdal and Timo Andre Bakken. I do not think there is need for further comments to judge the excessive power of the subjects of King Harald in the men's sprint.
Nothing changes in the overall World Cup, with the first five & ndash; Sundby, Petter Northug, Halfvarsson, Cologna and Belov & ndash; absent today. Even in the ranking of specialty & agrave; the sprint happens little or nothing, with Krogh always leading in front of Petukhov and Brandsdal.
It ends in the battery & rsquo; adventure Federico Pellegrino: the Aosta Valley, the only blue qualifier, try to surprise opponents in the stretch pi & ugrave; hard of & rsquo; ring, but resumed in coming down and clearly beat in the sprint. For him a thirteenth final position still in line with expectations given the eve of the lower susceptibility to classical technique with respect to step rink.
