Also Maja Dahlqvist (7), Evelina Settlin (9) and Linn Sömskar (11) also made it to the final. The top 30 went on to the final pass of the first World Cup competition since the Tour de Ski, which ended on Sunday. There Annamarija Lampic made a sensation and her fine form is in. The Slovenian won the flat qualification in the city center at 2.30.38.

Maria Nordström was the only Swede to be knocked out.

Dresden is a pure sprint weekend and almost no distance riders have started. Finnish Krista Pärmäkoski, who fell ill for the Tour de Ski that she missed, went to the quarterfinals as 16th.
