Its SILVER for Alex Harvey today in the mens 15-kilometre skate-ski pursuit race at the World Cup Finals in Falun, Sweden! His result today moved him past Jespersen of Norway into 3rd place on the Overall World Cup standings. His best season of his career. Devon Kershaw finished the race with another solid 12th and Ivan Babikov was 23rd. Alex Harvey: “I’m super stoked. That was a super nice way to end the season. I knew yesterday I had to beat one of those two guys (Sundby and Legkov) today to be in the top-three in the overall and it was game on. My skis were awesome again today. The wax techs did an awesome job. I’m so happy!” “When I grew up it was never something I thought about. My dad (Pierre) was never better than eighth in the overall. Just being on the World Cup podium was something we all dreamt of in Canada. We have come a long way. We know we can be fighting for the top every weekend. Devon (Kershaw) was second a couple of years ago, and now I’m third. We take a lot of satisfaction showing that we can be consistent.” This was a positive finish for the National Team on the World Cup circuit and bodes well for next years World Nordic Championships that will be held on the very same trails in Falun. Earlier in the day Norways Therese Johaug won the 10k skate, pursuit race, and the overall World Cup title ahead of Marit Bjoergen. Heidi Weng was 3rd and Canadas lone entrant, Andrea Dupont was 42nd.
