Federico Pellegrino second in the sprint in Val Müstair

The favorites felt at home on the spectacular course with a very steep climb (23%), a jump and three waves (camel humps). In the women's race, Stina Nilsson from Sweden secured the day's victory, ahead of Sophie Caldwell and Jessica Diggins. The two Americans crossed the finish line at the same time, and after the finish photo was digitally evaluated, Caldwell was ranked ahead of her teammate.

In the men's race, sprint star Federico Pellegrino was one of the favorites, and the Italian made it through the quarter-finals without any problems. In the semi-finals, Pellegrino met “cross-country skiing wonder” Johannes Klaebo, the Norwegian won this heat ahead of Pellegrino, and both made it to the final confidently. The event repeated itself there: The Russian Sergey Ustigov set the pace on the first lap, Klaebo and Pellegrino passed the Russian on the climb, and until the finish the Italian only saw the Norwegian from behind.

Johannes Klaebo celebrated his tenth victory in the 15th sprint, and the Norwegian also won the sprint race in Toblach.

The two South Tyroleans Dietmar Nöckler (51st) and Stefan Zelger (59th) failed to qualify for the top 30 in the morning.
