Eight wins, one left. It is the position of Tove Alexandersson who has already secured the victory in this year's World Cup. At the start of the World Cup in China, she won the median distance by a half-minute margin to second Natalija Gemperle, Russia.

The Swedish star led from start to finish, although Gemperle was close to catching up with only minutes left to run.

Three of the competition became Swiss Julia Julia.

Swede Alva Olsson came nine and Lilian Forsgren, Sara Hagström and Johanna Öberg also came in among the top 20.
