In brilliant conditions with sun and nice tracks Andreas Nygaard, Team Ragde Eiendom and Britta Johannson Norgren, Lager 157 Ski Team won the 50 km long Jizerska Padesatka. Fort both athletes it was their second win in a row. 

The women’s race started in really high speed right out from the start and soon Britta Johansson Norgren, Lager 157 Ski Team and Lina Korsgren, Team Ramudden, got a gap. At the first Climb point, they were almost a half-minute ahead of the chasing group.

Towards the second Climb, Johansson Norgren moved away from Korsgren and passed the checkpoint with a lead of 17 seconds. Emilie Fleten, Team Ragde Eiendom and Ida Dahl, Team Ramudden, was 46 seconds behind Johansson Norgren.

At the end of the race Fleten was really strong and caught Korsgren, heading for Johansson Norgren. But Johansson Norgren was strong enough to take her 21st Visma Ski Classics victory 43 seconds ahead of Fleten and 55 seconds before Korsgren.

“It was a really good day. Lina and I worked well together at the beginning of the race but the girls behind were going fast. I am really satisfied with my race. The last 15 km is hard. It was mentally tough and I struggled to go with the men. I was worried all the way that Fleten would catch me in the end”, said Johansson Norgren after the race.

«It was really fun to finally get to the podium. I was struggling from the start but in the end, I had amazing skis and I saw that Britta was not so far ahead of me. I was trying to catch her but I wasn’t strong enough,” says Fleten.
