The victory in the women’s freestyle 20 km mass start was resolved in an incredible battle between four skiers. American <\/span>Jessie Diggins<\/b> won the race with an impressive final sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a big surprise, but I\u2019ll take it”, commented Diggins of her win shortly after the race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swedish skier <\/span>Jonna Sundling<\/b> secured second place, battling the American star for the lead right to the very last meters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final podium spot went to Norwegian <\/span>Heidi Weng<\/b>. Weng appeared to position herself well in the final climb, but Diggins and Sundling surged ahead between the two Norwegians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therese Johaug<\/b> led the race heading into the final climb towards the stadium, but the Norwegian, making her return to the World Cup in Ruka, ultimately faded to fourth place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Krista P\u00e4rm\u00e4koski<\/b> finished as the best Finnish skier in 23rd place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Finnish skiers and their positions: <\/span>Kerttu Niskanen<\/b> 26th, <\/span>Vilma Nissinen<\/b> 34th, <\/span>Anne Kyll\u00f6nen<\/b> 36th, <\/span>Eveliina Piippo<\/b> 40th, <\/span>Emmi L\u00e4ms\u00e4<\/b> 44th, <\/span>Oona Kettunen<\/b> 45th.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johanna Matintalo<\/b> and <\/span>Vilma Ryytty<\/b> did not finish the race.<\/span><\/p>\n
