Gløersen and Zernova get the Gsieser

Anders Gløersen is an athlete with plenty of World Cup experience. He left Montaler biathlete Lukas Hofer and Olympic champion Giorgio Di Centa behind. “We were a group of around 20 athletes until the last climb. Then Di Centa begins to increase the rhythm. When I reached the highest point of this climb, I saw that I had left everyone behind me and tackled the last section alone," said the winner after reaching the finish.

Winner Gløersen celebrated the last World Cup victories with the Norwegian 4 x 7,5 km relay. On December 18th last year in La Clusaz (France) and in Ulricehamn, Sweden on January 22nd this year. Despite these successes - he also won five individual races in the World Cup in recent years - he came to Casies to take part in the 34th edition and win it. There was no repeat of the 2006 Olympic duel in Turin between Giorgio Di Centa and Yevgeny Dementyev. The Russian had to cancel his start at short notice because his health was not up to scratch.

The women's 42 km was won by the Russian Natalia Zernova, for whom it has now become a habit to be on the podium in Casies. Behind her, Antonella Confortola and Jessica Müller reached the finish. She also won the 42 km in classic style.

The women's 30 km was won by World Cup runner Elisa Brocard, who crossed the finish line just a few moments after the men's winner Enrico Nizzi. Second and third among the women were Martina Vignaroli and Julia Weiss, and among the men were Julian Brunner and Urban Lentsch.
