Moser sprints to twelfth place in Lillehammer
Cross-country skier Benjamin Moser has also reached the sprint semi-finals at the World Cup in Lillehammer and finished twelfth overall. The Tyrolean was eliminated in the second knockout round of the skating competition on Saturday after breaking his pole early and finishing just last in his run.
In the quarter-finals, he had been just ahead in a photo-finish decision for second place. The victory was secured by top star Johannes Hösflot Kläbo, who had recovered from a cold.
"Without a broken pole, the final would have been inside"
"The semi-final is not a matter of course. I'm super happy that the season has started like this. But it's just bitter, because without a broken pole the final would have been inside," said Moser. The previous week in Ruka, he achieved his best World Cup result to date with eighth place in the classic sprint.
Mika Vermeulen unsurprisingly failed to qualify in Lillehammer, but the Styrian can be counted on again in the skiathlon on Sunday. Sweden's Jonna Sundling won the women's sprint without Austrian participation.
