Emilie Öhrstig was the defending World Champion, but she won in the classical style, and the last free style sprint in the World Championships (in 2003) was won by Marit Bjørgen. Yuliya Chepalova is defending Olympic champion. The most recent freestyle sprint event in the World Cup, however, was won by the Russian Alyona Sidko at 30 December 2005.
There were two semifinal races, each with five skiers. The top two in each semifinal advanced to the A Final, to compete for the top four places, while the third and fourth-placed finishers advanced to the B Final, for places five through eight.[2]
