Johaug second
World Cup opener in Ruka: Stadlober strong eighth place!
Teresa Stadlober got her twelfth cross-country World Cup season off to a successful start on Friday: the 31-year-old from Salzburg finished in a strong eighth place in the classic 10 km race in Ruka. Stadlober was 1:18.3 minutes behind the superior winner Frida Karlsson from Sweden and around 24 seconds behind Astrid Oerye Slind in third place. Her Norwegian compatriot Therese Johaug celebrated a strong comeback after a two-year break in second place, 46.5 seconds behind Karlsson.

We had great material today," explained Stadlober after her 222nd World Cup start. Right after the start, she saw that she had much faster skis than Johaug, who was already running through. "I was almost surprised that I was able to keep up so well. She then crossed the finish line and I had another lap to myself. I'm mega happy that I finished in eighth place."
"Gives me self-confidence"
In recent years, she has always needed a few races to find her form and has not been in the top ten in Ruka for a long time. "It makes me feel positive and gives me confidence for the next races," said the athlete from Salzburg, who will now compete in the 20 km mass start in skating style on Sunday. "I've worked a lot on my skating technique and want to finish in the top ten," was Stadlober's motto.
