Takes her second straight win in Muonio after a three-way thriller to the finish line.

Laura Gimmler does it again, just like last year: the German ski star wins the classic sprint in Muonio. She dominates the prologue, the quarterfinal and the semifinal. But the final turns into a thriller all the way to the finish line. Gimmler secures the win ahead of national team teammate Coletta Rydzek and home favorite Jasmi Joensuu.

Ingrid Andrea Gulbrandsen is the only Norwegian woman to advance from the prologue. The 26-year-old moves on easily from her quarterfinal. In the semifinal, however, it is over for Gulbrandsen. Half-Norwegian Theresa fürstenberg, who races for Germany, finishes third. Her time is good enough to advance as a lucky loser – for the second time on the same day.
