In the women’s individual competition, Frenchwoman Emily Harrop dominated with a magnificent display of skill and strength, earning her fourth Sprint victory this year, adding to a formidable record of four world titles and 17 World Cup victories. Her victory in Cortina also earned her her second crystal ball of the year, following her triumph in the individual standings. In the men’s individual competition, 2nd place went instead to Italy’s Davide Magnini.
The women’s sprint competition once again saw 1st place for Emily Harrop, followed in 2nd place by Switzerland’s Marianne Fatton. In the men’s sprint, Switzerland’s Arno Lietha secured second place alongside third-place Swiss Loic Dubois.
Emily Harrop also takes the podium in 1st place in the Women’s Mixed Relay along with compatriot Thibault Anselmet.
