After a long absence due to mental illness, Jenny Rissveds has re-established herself in the world elite during the summer.

Three weeks ago she won her first World Cup competition after her return, when she was the fastest of all at a competition in Lenzerheide. In addition, there have been another couple of pallet places.

Lost on lap five

But when the World Cup started today in Canadian Quebec, she was never close to the medals. It ended with a 16th place, a full 5.51 after winning Frenchman Pauline Ferrand Prevot. Rissved's long, long place around seven-eight, but on the fifth lap she fell and lost almost two minutes on the lead.

- Jenny entered the race almost as an advance favorite because she has performed so tremendously well in the end. She clearly had medal chances. She started well and had a stroke. But she never came into the match, says SVT Sports expert Fredrik Kessiakoff, who is also the associate captain.

- I don't think she is happy, but she does well that still gets around. She took important points. But it is nevertheless a tremendous fine result as far as where she stood a year ago.

Missed Olympic location

Prevot took a superior victory, 43 seconds ahead of Swiss Jolande Neff. The bronze was taken by Rebecca McConnell, Australia.

Because Rissveds missed a top two ranking, she failed to drive home an Olympic place to Sweden. So she has to be ranked among the top 21 riders in May next year in order to run the Tokyo Olympics next summer, should she not get a so-called Tripartiate Commission seat. That commission distributes unused Olympic venues in several sports, and Sweden's Olympic Committee may suggest that Rissveds get such a place.

- I am not worried that Jenny will not be on the starting line in Tokyo. She just has to compete and focus on what she is good at then it will, says Kessiakoff.
