The fact that the world's best orienteer on the women's side is from Sweden is no doubt. Tove Alexandersson has dominated at home, at the World Cup and in the World Cup.
In the women's sprint over 3.1 km in Laufen, Switzerland, Tove Alexandersson started last. And already after 500 meters she led by 12 seconds. She extended the lead to a maximum of 25 seconds before finishing in goal as an unbeaten one ahead of Elena Roos, Switzerland by 16 seconds. Trea became Switzerland's Simona Aebersold, 43 seconds after Alexandersson. Sara Hagström and Lilian Forsgren came in 14th and 15th place.
Alexandersson now leads the World Cup by far, she has 500 points, second Natalia Gemperle 290.
Now it looks like Sweden can also take home the World Cup on the men's side. OK Ravin's Gustav Bergman did not make a good effort on Sunday (Bergman turned 24), but because the greatest challenger Norwegian Olav Lundanes did not run as well (18th place), Bergman expanded the lead in the overall World Cup (because you can count off the worst results). Ahead of the last two races, in China, Bergman has 370 points against Lundanes 343.
Today's competition was won by Belgian Yanick Michiels, best Swedish was Martin Regborn, nine.
Previously, Bergman, who took the World Cup silver in the medium distance and the World Cup gold in relay, which has come best in four in the World Cup.
