At the 5km F FIS race at Ylitornio in Finland at the weekend Posy Musgrave broke the magic 120 FIS pts barrier (119.47 pts) to earn herself World Cup qualifier. In the same race just 3secs behind Posy was Sarah Young which was a tantalising 2 secs outside a World Cup qualification standard (122.65 pts). Better luck next time Sarah! It’s great to see our first Women’s world cup start.
Meanwhile Andrew Young won the 1st stage (10km C) of the Junior Tour de Barents today. He beat Finn Hagen Krogh of Norway into 2nd place. Finn won gold & bronze at the World Juniors in January. Andrew will be wearing the red leaders bib in tomorrows 15km F.
