Jonna Sundling stood over the races as she is expected to ride one of the routes in the team sprint on Wednesday, and instead got Emma Ribom and Moa Ilar the chance together with obvious Frida Karlsson And Ebba Andersson. However, both ribs and ribom got lead -heavy starts, and already after two kilometers the distance to the lead was long.
It went better for Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson, who both immediately took up the fight against Therese Johaug, who started at a furious pace.
New huge success for Ebba Andersson
After a few kilometers, however, Karlsson, who finished fourth in the skiathlon, dropped against Andersson and Johaug – and it was clear early on that it would again be a classic duel between the Swedish and the Norwegian, but also against Austrian Teresa Stadloberwhich led four kilometers into the race.
After lying after Johaug throughout the race, Andersson was in the lead with only 800 meters left – but with less than a second. There was another super drama between the Swedish and Norwegian stars, just like during the skiathlon. This time the distance between Andersson and Johaug was 1.3 seconds, even this time to Andersson’s advantage. It was then a nervous wait for Teresa Stadlober’s time.
She was just seconds after Andersson when two kilometers remained, but a kilometer later she had lost a lot against the Swedish, and then the World Cup gold looked clear. She also lost more than ten seconds on Frida Karlsson, who thus took bronze, and her first individual medal in this year’s World Cup.
