Cross-country skiing » The Swiss did not make it past the semi-finals yesterday in Italy.

Nadine Fähndrich was eliminated in the semi-final in the classic style sprint in Val di Fiemme counting for the Tour de Ski. The Lucernoise accused the fatigue due to the repetition of the efforts. The Swiss had won the last three sprints in the World Cup. But yesterday she never seemed able to pull off the four pass, finishing sixth and last in her semi-final. The energy expended during the previous stages visibly failed him to achieve a new feat. However, it goes back to tenth overall.

The Norwegians scored a hat-trick in the final. Lotta Weng has indeed signed her first success in the World Cup ahead of her twin sister Tiril Weng (at 0”35) and Mathilde Myhrvold (at 0”67). Tour leader Frida Karlsson was eliminated in the quarter-finals. But the Swede remains favorite for the final victory with 41 seconds ahead of Tiril Weng. Norwegian Anna Kalvaa, who was third overall, tested positive for Covid-19 and had to leave the event.

At men’s, Cyril Fähndrich, Nadine’s brother, was taken out in the quarter-finals. Norwegian favorite Johannes Klaebo won ahead of Sweden’s Calle Halfvarsson (0.26) and Italian Simone Mocellini (0.94). In general, Klaebo – who has thus won five consecutive stages – leads with a little less than a minute ahead of Halfvarsson. ats
