The U23 women's category is the first to start on this Cross Country Sunday. The big favorite is the dominator of the category Line Burquier, a 19-year-old Frenchwoman, who in her first year among the U23s is already winning everything. Mirko Celestino's Italy is banking on 2 excellent girls: Giada Specia but also to Sara Cortinovis and Noemi Plankensteiner.
Immediately in the early stages, Burquier makes the difference, precisely in the 2nd lap, and forces everything to chase. Giada Specia is in the first group while Sara Cortinovis just behind (top 10). Out of the game Laura Stigger: a bad day for her.
During the final stages the Pieterse manages to detach ours Giada Specia, which now has to contend with Pedersen for the bronze. In front of the home crowd, Line Burquier crosses the finish line in 1st place after 1h11'9 ″ giving France the second gold in this edition of the world championships. Last year it was tax among the juniors in Val di Sole. Unfortunately Giada Specia gives a little in the final and is 4 ^.
Thirteenth Sara Cortinovis (+4 ′ 55 "). Twentieth Noemi Plankensteiner.
