Germany's Laura Gimmler and Coletta Rydzek executed a flawless strategy to win the women's freestyle team sprint at the Cross-Country World Cup in Goms, Switzerland, on January 23, 2026. The race, the last before the Milano Cortina Olympics, saw France's Léonie Perry and Mélissa Gal secure seventh place, their best result in the format since 2010. Notable absences, including Sweden's top sprinters and the United States' Jessie Diggins, shifted focus to tactical preparation amid a challenging hilly course.
