Mass start in Falun
Cross-country skiing: Next top place for Vermeulen
Austria's cross-country ace Mika Vermeulen delivered another top result at the World Cup in Falun after seventh place the day before!
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The 25-year-old from Styria battled for the podium places in the 20 km mass start race on Sunday and finished sixth, 9.4 seconds behind. Victory went to the Norwegian Paal Golberg, 0.3 seconds ahead of the American Gus Schumacher and 0.9 ahead of compatriot Harald Östberg Amundsen.
Vermeulen had had to miss the last World Cup event in Cogne due to the flu, but he was back in strong form. "Today it was a sixth place for a change. I have to be satisfied, because I've been at the front in almost every race this year, but at some point these sixth and seventh places aren't that interesting when you take them so many times in a row," said Vermeulen.
"I'd just rather finish on the podium once. The level is really high at the moment, I feel good, but we still have to wait for the day when everything comes together."
Stadlober only 15th in the women's race
Things didn't go quite as planned for Teresa Stadlober in the free technique this time. Austria's best cross-country skier dropped out of the top ten after just 4 of the 20 kilometers and was only able to secure 15th place in the finish. After fifth place in the 10 km individual classic race on Saturday, this was a setback for Stadlober at the World Championships dress rehearsal. The US American Jessie Diggins took the victory.
