Linn Sömskar defeated, among other things, a couple of meritorious Russians.

Victory margin down to silver medalist Natalija Nepryajeva was 10.5 seconds and another just over 10 seconds later came Marija Istomina.

Sömskar focuses primarily on long distance running and will thus be seen on SVT, which broadcasts Ski Classics next winter.

The men's competition has not yet been decided, where Sweden is represented by Alfred Buskqvist and Erik Silfver.
