World Cup Sprint Relay Finland: Maps and Results

Helena Jansson decided the first race in the World Cup Sprint Relay 2017 for Sweden in a close fight with Denmark’s Maja Alm. Alm was later disqualified due to a miss-punch, and Switzerland’s Elena Roos did thus lead Switzerland in to second place 13 seconds behind with Great Britain in third one minute behind.

Sweden ran an excellent relay – and managed to keep the other teams behind all the way until the end. Denmark’s Maja Alm got a perfect chasing position, and it looked like she would manage to catch and pass Jansson until the very end. A combination of a somewhat longer forking towards the end of the race and the chase of Jansson earlier on the course took that extra energy out of Alm, and thus Jansson could beat the fast Danish woman in a one-to-one fight – a very positive experience to bring to the World Championships in Estonia in one month’s time.

Switzerland was in the fight for the victory until the middle of the last leg, but Roos could not fully keep up with the speed of Jansson and Alm. Tessa Strain did a good race for Great Britain on the last leg, bringing them in to third position, but the gap up to the three teams in front was too big already from the start.
