Danielle Brandon's dominance over the field of competitors became noticeable as soon as she grabbed the rope for her first set of hand-over-hand pulls. At 23 minutes, Brandon had finished the final 1,000-m ski and had five minutes to complete her final set of hand-over-hand pulls to snatch the Test 1 record from Fischer. With one final pull well ahead of the rest of the field, Brandon secured a first-place finish and 100 points at 26:35.48.
