The eventual FIS Rollerski World Cup stage opened up in Val di Fiemme – Trentino this afternoon. Italy's Mattia Pellegrin has won, quite unexpectedly, the Senior Uphill CT race ahead of superfavorite Marcus Johansson of Sweden. Linn Soemskar has grabbed the victory amongst women, while Russian Polina Soskova and Swede Alfred Buskqvist have won the Junior race.
Pellegrin closed the 10,4k-long Uphill race over 30 seconds ahead of Johansson while Russia's Anton Shatagin stepped in for third. The overall standings, before the very last race scheduled tomorrow, reads Johansson still in the lead, while Italian Simone Paredi lost several points today as he finished ninth. On women's side, Soemskar showed impressive skills since the very beginning and recorded the best all the intermediate times from the little town of Ziano di Fiemme up to Bellamonte where the finish line was set. The Swede crossed the line ahead of Russian Tatjana Jambaeva and Elin Mohlin of Sweden. Provisional World Cup leader Konokhova (RUS) finished in sixth place but still sits atop female standings.
In Junior category, Buskqvist managed to keep back countryman Fredriksson, while Soskova of Russia stepped in ahead of home athletes Defrancesco and Ganz.
Tomorrow's Sprint FT event will decide the kings and queens of the FIS Rollerski World Cup 2014. Starting time at 3pm with qualifying rounds followed by finals in Ziano di Fiemme town centre.
The three-day long event until Sunday closes the 2014 World Cup circuit, but also represents a test-event for Val di Fiemme and the Nordic Ski Fiemme OC in view of the Rollerski World Championships, scheduled in the Italian valley next year.
