"Fantastic!"
Ruka: Moser sprints to best World Cup result
Benjamin Moser achieved his best career result to date at the cross-country sprint World Cup in Ruka on Saturday. The 27-year-old Tyrolean first came second in the qualification, then won his quarter-final run and finished fourth in the semi-final, 1.36 seconds behind heat winner Marcus Grate (SWE). Moser thus finished eighth. He topped his best result so far (10th). The second Austrian, Bernhard Föttinger, was eliminated in the quarter-finals and finished 20th.
"I'm absolutely delighted, a start to the season like this is of course fantastic," said a delighted Moser in the ORF interview. I didn't quite expect it, but I already knew that I was in good shape." The prologue in particular, i.e. the qualification, was "really mega". Moser was second in this, only the Norwegian top star and eventual winner Johannes Hösflot Kläbo was faster.
Moser thanked the service team for the "rocket". The difference to the prologue was that you also have to be fast on the final climb. "I still have to work on that." Moser's goal for the season: "To make it to the final once."
