Cross country Third Russian team gets the third place. First Russian – not the first one.
Specialists wondered if the third Russian team gets the third place in women team race in Davos. |
It did. But everything else wasn't so successful as this. Our second team didn't stand in the race, and the first one, which wasn't very strong, didn't manage to approach Norwegians. |
Bente Skari Martinsen was the best today. On the second stage she was almost half a minute beyond Natalia Baranova, which the latter failed to even. On the third stage the situation went even worse. Ekaterina Stchastlivaya was also remarkable today as she managed to surpass Stephania Belmondo. |
