The fastest in the 15 km distance were the national team biathlete Edgar Mise (Schlager, Madonna) and Elza Bleideide from Cesis, who just started in the world junior championship. Artūrs Andersons (ULDEX, Valmiera) and Alise Plāte (Madona BJSS) won in the 7 km distance. Madvona BJSS students Ervīns Krātis and Sabīne Grudule remained unbeaten in the 2.5 km distance.
The children’s skis were passionate, as the fight for the first place took place in all groups. Gunārs Ikaunieks, the head of Smeceres sila, skied ahead for the small skiers, who admitted that with such fighting spirit and perseverance, the results in skiing will not be missed and in a few years we can expect fast skiers for longer distances.
It should be noted that Madona Skiing is a great example of cooperation between the municipality, entrepreneurs and sports organizers, which promotes the quality and publicity of sports events and gives residents the opportunity to participate in a well-prepared event.
