After posting the fastest time in the qualification round, Finland's Virpi Kuitunen became the first woman to beat Marit Bjoergen in a World Cup sprint this season. Anna Dahlberg (Sweden) took the final podium spot ahead of Norwegian Ella Gjoemle, while Gjoemle's senior teammate Hilde G. Pederson won the B-Final for a fifth place overall finish.
Canadian Sara Renner had the top North American result in 12th, followed by the young Canadian Chandra Crawford in an encouraging 36th place. Also in the race were Milaine Theriault (45th), Kikkan Randall (48th), Tara Whitten (55th) and Wendy Wagner (56th.)
Today's sprint was the last World Cup race before the opening of the World Championships in Oberstdorf next weekend.
