Manuela Henkel won the night sprint, which is not part of the World Cup

The fourth place in which the cross-country skiing World Cup races were held in 2005/06 was Vernon , Canada , where the World Cup was held on 10/11. December 2005 made a guest appearance. There, in four competitions, Norway triumphed twice, once Germany and once Canada.

Apron

In May 2004 it was announced that the two Canadian cities Vernon and Canmore will host the first Canadian cross-country skiing World Cups in more than ten years during the Olympic season. For the middle town of Vernon this was the first and so far only World Cup; previously only the surrounding Silver Star ski area had hosted top-class races in the 1991/92 season. The groomed cross-country ski trails, which are around 50 kilometers long, were around 1700 meters above sea level and therefore at the same height as the Olympic routes in Pragelato near Turin . Some teams took advantage of this fact to combine a training camp with the World Cup in Canada. Since there was a World Cup-free weekend between Kuusamo and Vernon, many nations traveled to the competitions very early, Norway almost two weeks before the races; The Swedish and German athletes also flew to Canada eight days before the first competition. The Finnish team, on the other hand, decided not to travel, only a few sprinters took part in the competitions at their own expense. On December 7th, Manuela Henkel and Björn Lind won a non-World Cup night sprint in the Silver Star ski area, which was viewed as preparation for the World Cup sprint.

In the spring of 2005, the FIS decided on a sprint-specific rule change that was used for the first time at the Vernon Sprint. From now on, not only did the best 16 athletes in the prologue qualify for the quarter-finals, but also the best 30. This also entailed another change in the sprint regulations; For the first time, six runners instead of four competed in the quarter-finals. The Norwegian sprint coach Ulf Morten Aune feared that it could get tight, especially in the freestyle sprints, if only two out of six athletes made it to the semi-finals.

Supporting program

In the weeks leading up to the World Cup races, the city of Vernon tried to popularize cross-country skiing among students by launching two school programs designed to bring students closer to the sport. On the one hand, there was The World Cup Challenge Passport , in which children from seven schools could solve tasks related to the event; on the other hand, there was an Adopt-a-Nation program , which encouraged school classes to be particularly interested in a team that they selected themselves and, for example, to watch them train. Tourism and Sports Minister Olga Ilich praised the programs as "a great way to introduce students to the spirit of the World Cup." The Solvereign Lake Nordic Center hosted a Rotary Festival in one on Saturday between 9:30 am and 3:00 pm, parallel to the competitions Tent took place at which, among other things, the English-Canadian worship musician Graham Ord performed. In addition, people could eat in the Rotary Festival tent on the two days of the race, for example a pancake breakfast was served in the morning. In the biathlon area of ​​the Nordic Center there was a Canadian brain drain for children at the weekend . After the competitions, there was a barbecue and dance party for the volunteers on Sunday, as well as an athletes' party, at which the medals and records were awarded to the ten best athletes. The latter, however, was only available to invited guests.

Race course

Men

German five-fold victory in the pursuit, led by Tobias Angerer , who has meanwhile also become the new overall World Cup leader

Since entire teams did not travel to Canada, such as the Finns around Sami Jauhojärvi or the Estonians around Andrus Veerpalu , some of the favored athletes have already dropped out. In addition, there were also some individual athletes who did not take part in the Vernon competitions because they were not nominated or were ill, such as the Russian Vasily Rotschew or Jörgen Brink from Sweden. Jens Filbrich , on the other hand, returned to the German team after his Kuusamo ban had expired and a second doping test remained negative. A total of 66 athletes started in the pursuit - 60 of them crossed the finish line - and 62 in the sprint. However, there were many runners who only started one of the two races in order to have a better chance in this one. These included, for example, the overall World Cup leader Arne Hetland , who skipped the pursuit, or the French Vincent Vittoz , who renounced the sprint. The largest line-up was hosted by Canada with eight and eleven athletes, respectively, but most of them had no chance.

After the failure of Tor Arne Hetland, two athletes had the opportunity to take the lead in the overall World Cup. In addition to Hetland's compatriot Jens Arne Svartedal , this was also the German Tobias Angerer . The pursuit itself ran for the first 15 kilometers, which were run in the classic technique, without a preliminary decision. When changing skis, almost all favorites were together within seven seconds, Svartedal was in the lead, wearing the virtual yellow jersey . Only the American Carl Swenson , who had shown a strong performance twice in the distance competitions in Kuusamo, had to give up early; In addition, skating specialist Tore Ruud Hofstad had fallen far behind and was 57th almost four minutes behind his leading compatriot. Ivan Alypow from Russia had the fastest changeover time of 28.9 seconds , who made up almost six seconds on Svartedal. There was also no decisive attack on the four freestyle laps, so that some athletes who had fallen behind were able to catch up again. This applied, for example, to the Italian Giorgio Di Centa - he ran the fastest time in the last 15 kilometers - or the Czech Jiří Magál , whose strengths lay in free technique. Vincent Vittoz and the Italian Pietro Piller Cottrer tried again to break away, but they too were caught up again. At kilometer 23, about half the skating distance, Angerer was involved in a fall with Frode Estil and dropped a few places to 25th place. But the German was able to run forward again in the last kilometers and was about eighth one and a half kilometers from the finish. Finally, the leading group of twenties sprinted for victory, with Tobias Angerer pulling away a bit and winning by a good second. Behind them, the other German starters Axel Teichmann , Andreas Schlütter , Jens Filbrich and René Sommerfeldt completed the first German five-fold victory in the cross-country skiing World Cup, in which the best fifteen athletes all crossed the finish line within ten seconds. The tactic was that Angerer and Teichmann should sprint for victory and the other three Germans "screened" the field. After the race, Angerer was particularly satisfied with the skating skis, in the classic part he would have had problems with the skis on the descents to stay on the field. In the fight for the overall World Cup, Angerer also triumphed; as Svartedal only collected a few points in 19th place, the German started the sprint 61 points ahead of Tor Arne Hetland. With the yellow jersey, Angerer said after the competition, “a dream came true” for him.

Tor Arne Hetland won the sprint and took the lead in both the overall and sprint World Cups

Some distance runners like Vincent Vittoz did without the sprint, but almost all athletes from the sprint world class took part. Since the new regulation was used for the first time, that 30 athletes qualify for the sprint, there were hardly any shortfalls in the prologue. None of the nine Norwegians and only one of the six Swedes, Anders Högberg , missed the quarter-finals; but eight of the 11 Canadians who competed failed. Tobias Angerer kept the chance to defend the top of the overall World Cup by finishing 15th, but his teammates Axel Teichmann and Benjamin Seifert failed because of the qualification hurdle. While the two Swiss sprinters Christoph Eigenmann and Peter von Allmen just made it through as 27th and 29th, the two Austrians Martin Stockinger and Thomas Stöggl were eliminated. The winner of the sprint in Düsseldorf, Peter Larsson from Sweden, benefited from the new rule - as seventeenth he would have missed the next round in the preseason. His team-mate Björn Lind , on the other hand, won the prologue in front of two Norwegians. In each of the five quarter-finals, only two of the six athletes progressed, so that many runners had to be eliminated. In addition to the Norwegian sprinters Johan Kjølstad and John Kristian Dahl , this also affected the overall World Cup aspirants Jens Arne Svartedal and Tobias Angerer, with the German narrowly missing the semi-finals as third in his run and finally finishing 13th. The Swiss von Allmen also retired, his team mate Eigenmann managed to qualify for the semifinals - as the only athlete who did not come from Norway or Sweden; these two nations provided nine of the ten semi-final starters. In the two semifinals of five athletes each qualified the first two for the A final and the third and fourth ranked athletes for the B final. Eigenmann made it to the B final, finished seventh and already fulfilled the Olympic standard. Peter Larsson at least achieved a good eighth place, but still lost the lead in the sprint classification. The decision to win was ultimately made in the A final between two Swedes (Björn Lind and Mikael Östberg ) and two Norwegians (Tor Arne Hetland and Ola Vigen Hattestad ). Finally, Hetland prevailed, who caught Björn Lind who had been in the lead for a long time shortly before the finish and took the lead with one hundred points in both the sprint and overall world cup. Lind was able to secure second place and thus occupy his best place so far, followed by Hattestad and Östberg. After the competition, the Norwegian winner said: “Wonderful! I had a perfect run. That was the perfect plan. "

With his victory in the sprint, Tor Arne Hetland regained the lead in the overall World Cup with 335 points, albeit by a narrow margin of 19 points over Tobias Angerer. The German was the only runner who had scored points in all six races run up to then. Behind it there was a bigger gap; Third-placed Jens Arne Svartedal only collected 176 points. In the distance world cup, Angerer clearly kept the lead ahead of Svartedal and Vittoz. Besides Angerer, only Andreas Schlütter managed to finish all four distance races in the points. Hetland also took the lead in the Sprint World Cup, with 180 points he was around fifty points ahead of Swedes Peter Larsson and Björn Lind.

Women

The Norwegian Marit Bjørgen wins her sixth World Cup race this winter

Because the teams from Finland ( Virpi Kuitunen and Aino-Kaisa Saarinen ), the Czech Republic ( Kateřina Neumannová ) and Estonia ( Kristina Šmigun ) did not take part in the Vernon World Cup, four of the seven best-placed athletes in the overall World Cup did not take part. As a result, Marit Bjørgen could only theoretically lose the top position in the overall World Cup, the second best runner who traveled, Claudia Künzel from Germany, was already 195 points behind. For most Canadians, however, the first home World Cups marked the start of the season; For example, Olympic medalists Beckie Scott and Sara Renner have only just entered the competition. Of the 54 athletes who started in the pursuit, 50 crossed the finish line, including nine Canadians and six Americans; 55 starters took part in the sprint. Most of the female athletes started in both competitions.

The pace of the first five classic kilometers was set by the two Norwegians Hilde G. Pedersen and Vibeke Skofterud , who controlled the field from the front. Only shortly before the change, the Kazakh attacked Oxana Jatskaja , whose strengths lay in the classic technique. Although she could not break away decisively - the lead over the pursuers remained at a maximum of 20 seconds - some athletes fell behind because of the increased tempo, including the Russian Julia Tschepalowa and Claudia Künzel. While Skofterud could not keep up either and even lost a minute to the top, their compatriots Pedersen and Bjørgen kept up with the five-man leading group. This also included the Canadian Olympic champion Beckie Scott and Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle from Germany, both of whom changed skis on positions five and four. The exchange from classic to skating skis went smoothly for almost all female athletes within around 35 seconds, Vibeke Skofterud had the fastest switchover time of 32.7 seconds. The chasers soon caught up with the leading group again, but some of the top runners failed to catch up and lost more time, such as the Russian Olga Rotchewa . A group of ten had formed five kilometers from the finish; among others Julia Tschepalowa, Claudia Künzel and Olga Sawjalowa with the best freestyle time were again among the original five front runners. Since there was no more attack in the last few kilometers and the gaps never increased to more than five seconds, the decision was made in the sprint to the finish. After an explosive start by Marit Bjørgens Beckie Scott alone was able to keep up, but in the end she too was 0.3 seconds behind the Norwegian, who celebrated her sixth win in the seventh race after a good 42 minutes. Despite her win, Bjørgen said: “That was the worst I've seen so far. I almost broke in on the way. ”After her 24th individual World Cup triumph, which she said was the toughest so far, the 25-year-old Norwegian said that shortly before the finish line she had seen that the other competitors were also exhausted, then she would still have herself once gave a jerk and attacked. Bjørgen's coach Svein Tore Samdal was not very surprised that his athlete had made a less dominant impression than in previous races. He explained that this is because she is not as good on higher routes as she needs time to acclimate. When asked whether this was a problem for the Olympic Games, which were also played at a higher altitude, Samdal said no; Bjørgen has more time there to adjust to the altitude. Runner-up local hero Beckie Scott was "very excited" after showing herself in good shape "in front of her friends and family"; her husband and father had watched the race in the finish area. In addition, the 2001/02 Olympic season began in exactly the same way - Scott had become Olympic champion at the time - which she interpreted as a "hopefully good sign". Behind the first two, Hilde G. Pedersen and Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle crossed the finish line in third and fourth, with Kristin Mürer Stemland achieving her best individual World Cup result to date with fifth place . The best Swiss woman was Seraina Mischol in 31st place, her compatriot Laurence Rochat had to give up the race early.

Beckie Scott (here left) won the sprint on Sunday

In the prologue to the individual sprint, 55 of 60 registered athletes competed, including all the sprinters who had traveled. With the Finns, however, some favorites were missing, such as Aino-Kaisa Saarinen, who came second in Düsseldorf. The reigning sprint world champion from Sweden, Emelie Öhrstig , on the other hand, only started again with World Cup races after she had recovered from a metabolic disease in the summer. However, she was unable to match her form from last winter and was eliminated in 44th qualification. In addition to Öhrstig, the Italian Gabriella Paruzzi , the Kazakh Oxana Jatskaja and the Norwegian Kristin Mürer Stemland failed . The prologue was won by Manuela Henkel , who celebrated her second success in Vernon after winning the night sprint and thus caught up with the favorites. The two best placed last day, Beckie Scott and Marit Bjørgen, followed with almost three and more than four seconds behind. Of the three Swiss starters, two, Laurence Rochat and Seraina Mischol, survived the qualification, but Flurina Bachmann was eliminated. The five Germans all qualified and, together with the Russians, made up the largest contingent in the quarter-finals. In addition, four Norwegians and Canadians and three Swedes made it to the next round. In the quarter-finals, three Germans missed the semi-finals, Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle, Stefanie Böhler and Viola Bauer . In addition, the five Russians were eliminated, Seraina Mischol did not qualify for the semifinals, unlike her teammate Laurence Rochat, who qualified early for the Olympic Games. The two remaining Germans started in a semi-final and reached the A-final as first and second of their run. They prevailed against Laurence Rochat, the Swede Anna Dahlberg and Chandra Crawford from Canada. Crawford lost all chances of reaching the final when she fell on a descent and could no longer catch up with the four leaders. The tenth place that was finally achieved was nevertheless the best result of her career for the 22-year-old Canadian. At the end of the other semifinals it was not possible to clearly determine whether Hilde G. Pedersen or Sara Renner had reached second place behind the winner Beckie Scott. After a short time, the competition jury decided to allow both athletes to reach the final. Like the audience, Renner approved of this decision and said: “Thank God I have big feet. There was nothing I could do. I did my best and think that when it is so close, the only right thing to do is for both athletes to advance. ”Marit Bjørgen, whose elimination in this semifinal was described as the“ greatest defeat ”, did not express herself disappointed or worried. The sixth place, on which she was after the clear victory in the B final, was “not bad” and she was “also no more than a person.” The A final determined Beckie Scott, who was both her quarter and hers Had won the semi-finals. In the last few meters Claudia Künzel attacked again, but it was no longer enough for the German to prevent Scott from her first World Cup victory. The second podium result for Canada went to Sara Renner, who was third ahead of Manuela Henkel. Hilde G. Pedersen came in fifth. Beckie Scott, who had collected a total of 180 points in her home races, was very satisfied and said that she had felt “stronger than ever in her career”. She was "just curious about where she stood in an international comparison" and concentrated more on the pursuit than on the sprint. Her team-mate Sara Renner was also extremely satisfied and said that this result was even better than the world championship bronze medal from 2005, since the races took place in Canada. Her tactic would be to stick to Scott all the time, which seemed to work.
