That the United States takes home a women's sprint is not surprising.

But that Rosie Brennan does just that is a blast.

Her position in the sprint cup for the past four years is 82-54-54-35.

But on Saturday, she collected more world cup points in sprint he what she has done during all the four years.

Although she was only third in Saturday's semifinal, she managed to gather and win 0.28 before Lampic and 0.49 before Nepryaeva.

Favorite winner

In the men's competition, it was a much bigger favorite that won.

Italian Federico Pellegrino took home both the quarterfinals and the semifinals with around half a second.

In the final, he set the fastest speed immediately and finished 2.13 ahead of Alexander Bolshunov, Russia, who was the only one who managed to challenge the Italian.

Out in the quarter

The one who might have defeated Pellegrino this time, Lucas Chanavat, France, did not advance from the quarterfinals due to a fall.

In addition to the winner, it was the World Cup debutant Valerio Grond, Switzerland, who made the biggest impression.

He fought his way all the way to the final, in the semis he managed to advance just one hundredth ahead of Artem Maltsev, Russia.
