Naeslund wins on home soil and Regez back on top

“In training my start didn’t work and all of a sudden in the heats it kept getting better and better and the element where we single and double, I went way too high in the final again, but then I was able to work like crazy over the first few rollers and then I was able to generate speed and I knew that if I keep it clear from there on, I am untouchable and I am really happy that I made it,” Ryan Regez said in the finish.

Taking a look at the World Cup standings, of course, with season victory number eight, Sandra Naeslund keeps the leader bib and has now 850 points to her name, leaving runner-up Fanny Smith, who did not compete in Idre Fjäll due to an injury she suffered from in Nakiska, with 566 points behind and in third rank, it’s Marielle Thompson, who also did not compete on Saturday with 389 points.

On the men’s side, the rankings are a bit tighter. First of all, Terence Tchiknavorian took over the lead from his team mate Bastien Midol with today’s performance. Tchiknavorian has now a total of 453 points. That is just 34 points more than Midol has now, which is 419 points. And Ryan Regez is also coming closer to the French gentlemen and has now a total of 377 points.

Well, there is another chance to gain points and podium spots tomorrow, as we will enter the very last World Cup competition before the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.

Finals are on at 13:00 CET on Sunday. Make sure to witness the action!
