Carina Edlinger: Triumph at the Ski World Championship-sixth title for the hopeful wearer!

In an impressive competition at the Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim, the 26-year-old para-long runner Carina Edlinger defended her title in the visually impaired category. Edlinger triumphed over 1.5 kilometers in classic technology and prevailed against the Czech Simona Bubenickova, who started her cross -country ski run with 32 seconds. "This stood on my bucket list to win an international race in Norway-becoming a world champion is all the more cooler," the Upper Austrian said happily in the ORF interview after the race, like laola1.at reported .

The Nordic Ski World Cup in Norway is special, since para cross-country competitions take place here for the first time as part of a FIS World Cup. The big spectator for spectator despite adverse weather conditions shows the increased interest and the importance of integrating para sports.

For Edlinger, this title marks their sixth world championship profit and consolidates their status as one of the leading athletes in para cross-country skiing.
