PostFinance Sprint: Hubmann took it all!

DSC_5517_s
Daniel Hubmann did like he has done the last years – took the victory both in the overall World Cup and in the World Cup final. Gueorgiou gave Hubmann a real fight for the overall World Cup in his first sprint race since the PostFinance Sprint last year – and finished 4th, only 17 seconds down on Hubmann.

Jerker Lysell had a super finish – and had the lead for a long time until Daniel Hubmann came with the last startnumber and took the victory.

Map and course

mappartwc

As for the women where Minna Kauppi took the victory, the course was varied – with several legs where the runners choose different routes. However, rather the route choice options did not seem to vary very much – and it was thus mostly running speed and technique which decided the race. Above you see one of the route choice legs – the leg from number 16 to 17.
