Most top women seem to be there though, considering it's a sprint. One can't expect Johaug to be there of course  

Quick look showed only Sundling being there, none of the other from top 10 overall. 

 

EDIT: My bad, not even Sundling!

Sundling didn't compete today. Lampic, Falla, Svahn, Caldwell and Fähndrich, among others, did, and those are definitely in the top of the sprinting world (which is the only thing Dresden is about). 

 

Who is and isn't there of the overall top-10 isn't very important, most top sprinters are there - a few aren't - and that's what matters.

Even top sprinters are missing, on both sides. Guess most of them welcomed rest after Tour de Ski over some small gains in the overall/sprint.

Klaebo and Sundling mostly, yes. Judging by the way they finished on Alpe Cermis, that's understandable   I'm happy most of the top sprinters are there, so we're definitely not getting a devalued competition, that'd be exaggerating.

Ridiculous tempo from Johaug...even Weng, though she's still 6+ seconds behind after a kilometer.
