TOUR DE SKI. The USA's Kikkan Randall showed again why she was last year's overall Sprint Champion.  She skied away from the field today to win my 50 meters.  She was the top qualifier by almost 5 seconds.  In second place from Norway was Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg, and in third also from Norway was Heidi Weng. 

In the men's race, there was lot's of action in the final.  Sprint favourite Emil Jönsson of Sweden - who fell in his quarterfinal - appeared to tangled with a teammate and lost pace with the pack.  Norway's Finn Haagen Krogh won his first ever stage World Cup sprint event.  Tour favourite Dario Cologna was skiing also fell in the final when over the top of the final climb he fell.  Following Krogh across the finish line was Italy's Federico Pellegrino and in third was Canada's Len Valjas.
