The classic sprint in Asiago, Italy was held today using a new, slightly modified sprint format which allows all skiers who place in the top 30 from the qualification round to enter the quarterfinal heats (as opposed to only 16 skiers making the quarterfinals.) Sara Renner and Wendy Wagner both qualified in the top 30, with Wendy Wagner scoring a season-best result of 28th. Neither advanced from the quarterfinals.
