In 20 km pursuit
Tour de Ski: Teresa Stadlober finishes on the podium
Cross-country skier Teresa Stadlober continues to perform excellently at the Tour de Ski!
The 32-year-old from Salzburg finished on the podium in the classic 20 km pursuit race in Dobbiaco, as she did on Monday, and came third on New Year's Day. She was beaten by overall leader Jessica Diggins from the USA and only 0.3 seconds behind Sweden's Moa Ilar in the final sprint. Previous overall runner-up Astrid Oeyre Slind was unable to compete due to illness, Stadlober is now third overall in the Tour.
Stadlober was already on course for the podium after around one kilometer. While Diggins completed a lonely race at the front on the way to her 30th World Cup victory, Stadlober and Ilar were isolated from the rest of the field as the chasing duo. The ÖSV athlete was in the lead for a long time, but on the last lap Ilar was just that little bit stronger.
"A great start to the new year!"
"It was another great day today and in the end another podium for Team Austria. A great start to the new year, even though the race was pretty tough for me and I just realized that I'm physically a bit at the limit," Stadlober admitted." It also makes a big difference whether you run in pairs or in a large group.
"I'm really super happy. Of course, mainly because of the two podium places, but also because I'm even on the podium in the overall Tour rankings at the moment. Team Austria is 'on fire', we had great material again and the atmosphere is sensational. I think a lot is still possible in the next two races."
