Alessandra Keller, the short track world champion from Crans-Montana and overall World Cup winner from the previous season, finished fifth and consolidated her 3rd place in the overall World Cup. Not far behind, in the absence of top riders Puck Pieterse and Loana Lecomte, were Ronja Blöchlinger (7th), Sina Frei (8th), Ginia Caluori (10th), Jolanda Neff (11th) and Nicole Koller (13th)
Keller was separated from her next podium place by more than a minute. At the top, Jenny Rissveds celebrated a superior victory. The Swedish world champion won after a long solo ride with a lead of more than two minutes over Evie Richards from Great Britain. Samara Maxwell came third.
With her third win of the season, Rissveds postponed the decision in the overall World Cup to next weekend's final in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Canada. The New Zealander Maxwell, who has consistently finished on the podium in the first half of the season, still leads by a large margin and will be hard to catch.
