It was the Öberg sisters who were Sweden’s hope for the podium, but Elvira, who was the best at the start, shot a total of 4 bars and was 10th. Hanna caught up with Elvira on the first lap, but hit a barrier in the first lay and had to chase again.
When almost all the close skaters missed in the last standing, Hanna had the chance but the fifth and last shot was a miss and she was forced to take her second penalty round of the day. Hanna thus ended up alone in 6th on the final lap.
In the lead, German Franziska Preuss looked to get revenge for her snowy loss to Lisa Vittozzi in the distance race last weekend. She got a gap on the Frenchman Lou Jeanmonnot, but she found new strength and came back with a sprint that Preuss could not withstand.
Thus, Jeanmonnot – who had never won in the World Cup before this week – took his second victory in two starts.
Third was the German Vanessa Voigt ahead of Norway’s Juni Arnekleiv and Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold.
Linn Persson and Mona Brorsson finished 16th and 20th respectively, while Tilda Jonsson entered in 40th place.
