It marks the fifth World Cup event win overall for Randall, who currently leads the sprint World Cup standings. She completed the 1.5-kilometer course in a time of 3 minutes, 2.4 seconds.

According to the report, it was a bit of a dominant performance from three-time Olympian Randall. From FIS Cross Country:

In the final Randall was controlling the race. In the second lap she took over the initiative and put on a huge gap on the top of the hill. Randall came unchallenged to the finishing straight and celebrated second sprint victory in a row.
