Nilsson and Harvey win final sprints of the season

2000x2000Group17317fm0137.jpg

 

 

Stina Nilsson of Sweden and Canada's Alex Harvey won the final sprint competition of the season as part of the first day of the World Cup finals in Quebec City, Canada.   Nilsson continued her season long battle with Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla.  The two athletes were clear again of the field and this time by 2.58 seconds ahead of third place finisher Hanna Falk of Sweden.  

 

As a consolation for the second place finish by Falla, she had earlier in the sprint heats clinched her second consecutive overall World Cup sprint crystal globe.  Nilsson took second in the overall sprint standings followed by her teammate Falk. 

 

On the men's side Harvey won his first World Cup on home soil much to the excitement of the home crowd.  Harvey was followed to the finish line by Norway's Finn Haagen Krogh +0.31 behind.  France's Richard Jouve took third +0.94 for his second sprint podium in Canada in the last two seasons. 

 

The battle for the men's sprint globe was decided in the mens' semi final when both Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo of Norway and Italy's Federico Pellegrino didn't advance to the final.  Pellegrino needed 38 points to overtake Klaebo and only managed to pull by 6 points making Klaebo the youngest ever sprint crystal globe winner.  Pellegrino took second in the sprint overall and Norway's Sindre Bjoernestad Skar took third in the overall standings.  The top 5 men were all separated by just 77 points.  

 

Competitions continue tomorrow with the 10/15 km mass start classic competitions.  During today's sprint competition Norway's Heidi Weng won her first ever Overall World Cup crystal globe.
