A fantastic day for Switzerland at the opening race of the Junior World Championships (JWOC) in Scuol, Switzerland today: A clear gold for Simona Aebersold in the women’s class – and both gold and silver in the men’s class with Joey Hadorn ahead of Thomas Curiger.
In the women’s class Anna Dvorianskaia (RUS) was closest to the Swiss home favourite. Dvorianskaia finished 8th in the European Championships sprint in the senior class this year – and was one of the big challengers to Simona Aebersold ahead of the race. In the end she was 51 seconds behind the Swiss. Anna Haataja (FIN) finished third – another four seconds behind Dvorianskaia.
The men’s race was much tighter – with Joey Hadorn winning the race with only 8 second ahead of team mate Curiger. Hadorn is an extremely fast runner – and good exploit this in this course. Isac von Krusenstierna (SWE) finished third, 17 seconds behind Hadorn.
