Really difficult route with gloomy weather: fog and lots of mud. Ready to go and 7 athletes take the lead with a very perky Jenny Rissveds who seeks victory from the early stages by forcing the pace. In front also Jolanda Neff together with Kate Courtney, Alessandra Keller, Anne Terpstra, Haley Batten and Gwendalyn Gibson.
WATCH THE DELAY
During the second lap in front we find who will really make the race: Jenny Rissveds, Alessandra Keller and Anne Terpstra. In the rear Rebecca McConnell but also Mona Mitterwalner, who struggle to find the rhythm in the mud, especially in the early stages.
Halfway through the race the rain began and the cards changed, with Jenny Rissveds changing pace and creating a gap between her and her pursuers (primarily Terpstra and Keller). During the last lap, when Jenny Rissveds seems to be able to win her first world cup in this 2022, she slips into a technical stretch and is passed by the Keller, who does not miss the opportunity and goes to win her first. World Cup career test.
THE ITALIANS
Good tests but not exceptional for Martina Berta and Greta Seiwald, who did not find the ideal day with the mud. Recall that Martina Berta was ill in the previous days (she did not run in the Short Track). Chiara Teocchi concludes 25th.
