JANTELOPPET – WOMEN’S RACE

In the women’s race, which started five minutes after the men at 8:05 CET, the speed was controlled right out from the start, with a big group of about 25 skiers at the front in the first few kilometers.

Soon after the checkpoint and with about 78km to go, Fleten could increase the pace on an uphill and the gap, which quickly put her in a promising long-range solo move. With 71.6km remaining, Fleten was already 1:12 ahead of the chasers.

At the first Sprint & Team Sprint checkpoint of the day at the 23.2km mark in Mosetertoppen, Emilie Fleten, Team Ramudden, crossed first, followed by Magni Smedås, Team Eksjöhus, 1:16.4 behind, and Anniken Gjerde Alnæs, Team Ragde Charge, 1:16.4 back, with seven women in the first chasing group within 1:45.5 behind the leader and Astrid Øyre Slind, Team Aker Dæhlie, unfortunately abandoning the race.

At Buåsen checkpoint, 37.8km into the race, Fleten crossed first, with Roivas 4:52.6 behind and Fähndrich in third and the same time back. About five kilometers later, Fleten was already 5:33 ahead of the chasers. 

At the second Sprint & Team Sprint point of the day, within 46.4km into the race, Emilie Fleten crossed first. With a gap of 6:23.2, Anikken Gjerde Alnæs was second, with Karolina Hedenström following 6:23.7 behind the leader.

With the sprint results, Emilie Fleten, Team Ramudden, won the Green Sprint competition overall with 379 points. Anikken Gjerde Alnæs, Team Ragde Charge, finished in second place with 238 points, followed by Magni Smedås, Team Eksjöhus, in third place with 189 points.   

When the leading Pro Team athlete reached the Buåsen checkpoint at the 61km mark, Fleten had a lead of 8:14.2 over Hedenström and 10:15:0 ahead of Fähndrich. From there, the women’s race was about Emilie Fleten in the lead and the chasers behind fighting for the remaining podium places.

At Mosetertoppen, 69.6km into the race, Fleten crossed first, followed by Hedenström and Fähndrich, 8:32.4 and 12:03.5 behind, respectively.

At the last time crossing the Buåsen checkpoint, within 84.2km into the race, Fleten was strong in the lead. The gap was still solid, and the lead was 7:32.3 over Hedenström and 13:40.5 over Fähndrich. 

In the end, after a challenging 93km race, Emilie Fleten, Team Ramudden, won Janteloppet with a solid performance. Fleten paced herself perfectly to win this year’s longest Pro Tour event in superior performance, in a total time of 4:46:58.1.
