The organizers of the European Open Championships in Nové Město na Moravě have been greatly affected by the extremely warm weather that effected the central Europe in December and first half of January. For this reason the events will be held over tracks adapted to the 2.5 km loop that is covered with technical snow. 

Maiken Caspersen Falla and Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg are winners again in the ladies' team sprint in the Czech Republic.  They won in Liberec one year ago and again today in Nove Mesto.  For the men it was a repeat of the Asiago podium with Russia I just out sprinting Norwegian team's 1 and 2 on the homestretch for the victory.

Kikkan Randall (USA) and Sergey Ustiugov (RUS) were victorious in Nove Mesto free technique sprints. Both found the podium before Christmas in Davos the last World Cup free technique sprint competition (not including Tour de Ski), but this time they both found the top step of the podium.  For each it was their first win of the season and the first ever World Cup win for Ustiugov.
