China's rising star Cidan Yuzhen, who had taken two golds at the Youth World Cup at Crevacol, Italy, failed to keep her momentum in the U18 women's sprint category.
The 17-year-old finished sixth after crossing the finish line nearly a minute behind Spain's Selles Laia, who won the gold in front of her home fans in three minutes and 40 seconds.
The first competition day witnessed another 15 Chinese skiers in sprint events, as Ji Lulu took seventh position in the women's U23 category, and Bu Luer ranked 10th in the men's U18.
