She has previously lined up second and third places.

It was a bit unexpected that the victory came in the sprint, the discipline where Alexandersson did not have as great success in during the season.

The Swede was superior in the competition and had the best times in both the quarterfinals and semifinals before she switched up another level in the finals and won by a full five seconds.

Marianne Fatton, Switzerland, came second and Emily Harrop, France, third.

"We have seen in the training and during the competitions that Tove has the highest capacity if she gets to all the elements, now she puts everything and completely crushes the sprint competition.

Extremely fun to watch and it feels extra good before the World Cup ", says national team captain Rémi Français in a press release.

The World Cup takes place in Andorra March 1-6.

It was last winter that Alexandersson started the competition in ski alpinism.

She decided last summer to therefore close her investment in ski orienteering.
