The victory of Goldberg, the second season and career, it is quite surprising as the Norwegian hitherto had always been distinguished more classical technique, progressing remarkably well in the distance races, especially early in the season to win the 15 km Lillehammer . Goldberg, however, was good at exploiting the contact who deleted Matias Strandvall and especially Ola Vigen Hattestad, which seemed clearly the strongest today, and precede with a sprint imperious Alexey Petukhov and Eirik Brandsdal.
Second place, which still makes happy Petukhov, fresh from Olympic disappointment which he could not even reach the final third as positive as Brandsdal, with sixty points earned, the Norwegian conquers the red leader's bib of sprint at the expense of Wenzl but it is off in the semifinals. Completing the picture of the finalists Teodor Peterson and the aforementioned fourth Strandvall Hattestad and eventually fifth and sixth respectively.
Male Italians: the only qualifier for the batteries is Fulvio Scola, which ends in battery sixth however also due to an imbalance that threatens to send him to the ground. Worse than others, with Federico Pellegrino who can not even get past the hurdle of qualifications, giving virtually bid farewell to any hope of winning the cup specialty.
In the overall standings of the World Cup Martin Johnsrud Sundby remains unassailable, strong of almost 300 points of margin that Chris Jespersen and boasts more than 400 Alexander Legkov. The conquest of the crystal ball from the Norwegian should not be questioned.
