The regular World Cup opener is next month in Düsseldorf, Germany, while the rollerski World Cup concluded last weekend in Italy.
The final races were held in Sestola, about 100-kilometer outside Bologna. The first of the final races was pursuit and took place on Saturday. Italian Alfio Di won the men’s race and Russian Elena Veedeneva won the women’s race. The same skiers were leading the overall World Cup ahead of the final race on Sunday.
Skating was (opposite of the regular World Cup) the first part of the pursuit while classic was second. The classic portion was tough with a 500-meter altitude gain and 10 degrees hills.
