Naeslund and Mobaerg stomp to victories in Nakiska

World Cup standings

Already before this competition, it was clear that World Champ Sandra Naeslund would keep her leader bib, as her margin to Fanny Smith, sitting in second rank, was bigger than 100 points. And, of course, with today’s performance, the Swede came one step closer to taking the ski cross Crystal Globe and now still leads 144 points ahead of Smith. In third place, it’s Brittany Phelan, who finished 7th on Friday’s Nakiska competition, and therefore was able to secure some important World Cup points.

On the men’s side, it was clear that it would be a battle between the French team mates Bastien Midol and Terence Tchiknavorian for the leader bib, as they entered the competitions with only 47 points apart. In the end, it was Bastien Midol who got to keep the leader bib and now has a total of 389 points, while Tchiknavorian sits in second rank with 328 points and in third, we have currently Ryan Regez who holds 217 points to his name.

There is another race coming up in Nakiska on Saturday, which will be the absolutely last Olympic qualifying competition. We can for sure expect nothing but full gas, so better tune in!

Ahead of finals, there will be the women’s qualification at 10:45 LOC, which had to be cancelled on Thursday and then we will go straight into finals at 12:15 LOC/ 20:15 CET.
