Women 7.5 km Sprint Competition

Germany’s Denise Herrmann-Wick ended her sprint career with a double win this afternoon at the Holmenkollen Ski Arena, shooting clean and skiing the last loop powerfully for a 21:06.5 victory in the women’s 7.5 km sprint. The German Olympic and World Champion’s win sealed the Women’s World Cup Sprint Score title, giving the retiring Herrmann-Wick the second discipline crystal globe of her career.

After a night of snowfall, heavy fog rolled into the Holmenkollen Ski Arena this afternoon, first forcing officials to delay the start. However, the fog continued to increase, forcing the scheduled women’s 7.5 km sprint competition to be postponed until Saturday at 15:00.
