Bolshunov leaves nothing to be desired – Diggins with a historic victory

Bolshunov could no longer take the overall victory in the 15th Tour de Ski. In the final stage, a freestyle mass start over 10 kilometers up the Alpe Cermis, he achieved second place behind his compatriot Denis Spizow. Third place in the last race went to the Frenchman Maurice Manificat.

With a lead of 3.23 minutes over Manificat and with 5 wins in 8 races, Bolshunov has dominated this tour. For the Russian it was the 2nd overall victory. He had already won the stage race last year. This time, however, Bolshunov had a little less competition. The Norwegian national team decided not to take part in the Tour de Ski due to the coronavirus pandemic. Norway said they didn't want to take any risks before the World Championships in Oberstdorf, which begins on February 23rd.

As the best Azzurro, sprint specialist Federico Pellegrino finished the tour in 14th place in the overall ranking. His teammate Francesco De Fabiani, who also comes from the Aosta Valley, was in 10th place before the final race up to Alpe Cermis, but then fell back to 15th place .

There were no South Tyroleans in the Val di Fiemme. Michael Hellweger from Sarner dropped out of the stage race after the sprint at the start of the Tour de Ski. In the first stage in Val Müstair in Switzerland, Hellweger made it to the quarter-finals. Diggins wins confidently The overall women's victory went to Jessie Diggins, who became the first American woman to win the prestigious title. In the overall ranking, second place Diggins finished ahead of Julia Stupak from Russia and Ebba Andersson.

You could see the joy on her face: Jessie Diggins took overall victory.

At the final on Sunday in Trentino, Andersson was 9,2 seconds faster than Diggins. Third place in the daily ranking went to the Frenchwoman Delphine Claudel.

As the best Azzurra, Anna Comarella finished the stage race in 20th place. Her gap to the victorious Diggins was ultimately 8.51,5:XNUMX minutes.
