Anchorage’s Kikkan Randall finished 6th in a 10 kilometer World Cup ski race in Canmore, Alberta yesterday (Thursday). It was her career best World Cup finish in a classic distance race. The reigning World Cup sprint champion was 30 seconds back of winner Justyna Kowalzak of Poland, one of the top skiers on the tour. Just 3.6 seconds separated third from seventh place on a hilly Canmore course. Randall told Fairbanks Nordic ski Club competition director John Estle, she’s pretty happy with her race.
