Mexico's Adriana Fabiola Corona showed her intent right from the start as she led the women's field up the first hill, but Carina Wasle (AUT) was soon out in front, the athletes staying together for the first run loop of two. Wasle was lightning up each of those climbs, only for Maria Luisa Rasina and Julie Meinicke to gain ground on the descents, and into the transition and onto the first ski segment it was Rasina giving chase to the Austrian. Rasina was into the lead after the first ski lap, Wasle right with her, and again took to the front by the top of the hill, but from there on it was the Meinicke show, the 20-year-old showing composure beyond her years as she hit the front and held off the experienced Rasina and Wasle over the remaining 5km on the skis, taking the tape and the cheers of the crowds. 24 Mar 2023 Winter Duathlon - Elite Women 181 contents
