Franco Pesavento and Anna Medvedeva Winter Duathlon World Champions.
Today the first edition of the Winter Duathlon World Championship, a novel test, with only 2 segments and with many transitions.
The athletes had to complete 3 times 4 km of running in the snow plus 6 km of cross-country skiing, which has made the test very hard.
In the men's category, the title went to Franco Pesavento with a time of 1: 46: 12 followed by Viorel Palici (1: 48: 21) and for Hans Christian Tungevik (1: 49: 19).
In the women's test the victory was for Anna Medvedeva with a time of 2:05:30 followed by ine skjellum (2: 10: 03) and for Maria Luisa Rasina (2: 14: 13.)
