B-finale and sixth place was an uncommon result for Marit. She is heading home to recharge the batteries on Monday.
(Editor’s note: this had been Bjorgen’s plan all along regardless of results in the pursuit and sprint).
– I’m tired and my body is not “with meâ€. I’m going to rest and training, and aim for getting back to how I felt ahead of the Kuusamo races. I was most disappointed that my body didn’t function 100%, said Bjorgen.
– Maybe it’s good that this happened. It shows that even Marit isn’t a machine, said coach Samdal

The enthusiastic home crowd got exactly what they wanted. Beckie Scott won and Sara Renner was third. Claudia Kunzel of Germany was second
– This is my first World Cup victory, and it’s very special to win in front of the home crowd in Canada. It’s a fantastic feeling. I’m starting to get in shape. It’s hopefully not my last victory, said Scott.
