Bente Skari won Asiago sprint as Petra Majdic reached the podium

Result and announcement

Bente Skari won the women's World Cup sprint at Asiago on 1 February 2001, with Anita Moen second and Petra Majdic third. The result gave Norway the leading two places while Majdic secured a Slovenian podium finish. FIS records the completed event as its women's 1.5 km freestyle sprint final.

Detail

Gabriella Paruzzi was the best-placed Italian in fourth. Manuela Henkel finished fifth, Karin Moroder sixth and Stefania Belmondo seventh. Ine Wigernaes, Evi Sachenbacher and Ramona Roth filled places eight to ten in the official final classification, putting athletes from several national programmes behind the podium trio.

Context and dates

The distinction between qualifying and the final result is important in this race. Henkel was third in the separate timed qualifying list, but Majdic was third in the final classification. Contemporary reporting on Majdic's podium also identified Skari and Moen ahead of her. The qualifying time is therefore not presented as Skari's winning final time.

Asiago hosted both men's and women's sprint decisions that day. FIS labels the finals freestyle, although the contemporary secondary report describes the women's technique differently; the discipline label here follows the official event catalogue. The historical date is the verified competition day, separate from the modern addition of this report.
