Two‑time Olympian Lars Young Vik was the sole Australian competitor at the first Cross Country Skiing World Cup following the Milano–Cortina Olympic Winter Games, finishing 42nd in the sprint event in Falun, Sweden.
Young Vik recorded a time of 2:43.47 in the qualification round, placing 42nd overall and narrowly missing progression to the top‑29 men’s finals.
Victory in the sprint went to Norwegian superstar Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the 11‑time Olympic gold medallist, with fellow Norwegian Lars Heggen second and Austrian Benjamin Moser in third place.
Australian Cross Country skiers now turn their attention to a busy international schedule next week, competing at the Junior & U23 World Championships in Trondheim, Norway, as well as the World Cup in Lahti, Finland.
