Russian Tour de Ski – Bolshunov wins without any effort for overall victory – Kologna VIII – Sports

The tension surrounding the overall victory of the Tour de Ski was largely out of place before the finals of the Alpe Sermis. Alexander Bolshunov’s three-and-a-half-minute lead was huge.

The captain of the 2020/2021 event, despite the difficulties of the past few days, stood up well again and finished the race in 13 seconds with a distance of 10 km. On record.

Cologna finished 8th

Bolshunov won the Tour de Ski for the second time. Only Dario Cologna was able to do this in 2011 and 2012. Despite his lung problems, Munstertler finished 17th in the prestigious finals, dropping to 7th and 8th overall.

This time it was Roman Ferger who was the first Swiss to come to Alpe Cermes – the second time the final was held as a bigger start than a chase. Ferger Cologna is just seconds ahead of 14th place. Candide Prolong also finished 24th in the World Cup standings.

The Russians are as strong as a bear

Six Russians are among the top 7 in the Tour de Ski. In the absence of the Norwegians, only the one-year-old Manifikat from Cologne was able to break the phalanx.
