Cross-country skiing: Anne Winkler sprints in Ulricehamn in 36th place – Julia Richter celebrates two victories in the college league

Sayda.

Skier Anne Winkler from SSV Sayda suffered a setback on the way to the home World Championships in Oberstdorf. At the World Cup in Ulricehamn, Sweden, the 26-year-old missed the quarter-finals because her time in the prologue of the freestyle sprint was only 36th. The victory went to the Swede Maja Dahlquist. The next and probably last chance to get a ticket for Oberstdorf is now the World Cup in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic, which is scheduled for 20/21. February is on the calendar.

Things went better for her teammate Julia Richter, who won the free technique sprint at the US college league races in Aspen, Colorado. In the prologue, the 21-year-old first ran behind Weronika Kaleta from Poland and in front of Anna-Maria Dietze (Pulsschlag Neuhausen) in second place, then won her runs in the quarter and semi-finals and was finally able to win in the final sprint ahead of her teammate Karianne Moe Secure Norway. Dietze, who starts for the team from the University of Colorado, was sixth.

“That was a really tough race,” said Richter, who was able to shine with places 2, 3 and 4 at the beginning of the college series. The altitude – Aspen is 2,400 meters above sea level – was particularly challenging. Julia Richter mastered this very well in the second race over 5 km with first place. Anna-Maria Dietze came in eighth.

Merle Richter, however, had to watch on the weekend. The races of the Central American University League in Wisconsin have been postponed for a week due to extremely low temperatures. The 19-year-old from the University of Northern Michigan ski team took the opportunity to train on snow at minus 25 degrees Celsius. (sb / tori)
