Slind Defeats Johaug – Ebba Andersson Climbs the Ranks

The pursuit start in the fourth stage of the Tour de Ski became a clear duel between Therese Johaug and Astrid Öyre Slind. Both started with a commanding lead and increased their advantage to a full minute.

The Swedish team had started far behind due to a challenging performance during New Year's Eve. However, Ebba Andersson had a fantastic race, moving up from 33rd to 18th place. The best Swedish competitor of the day was Moa Ilar, who finished 14th after starting in 8th place.

This marked the final competition in Toblach before the Tour de Ski continues in Val di Fiemme, where the next race is set to be Friday's sprint.
