All five Swedes made it to the final in the super sprint, but once there no one reached the podium.

The best was Emma Nilsson who finished ninth.

No one had more booms than Stina Nilsson with eight, but she was the fastest of all in the track.

- I pulled a really expensive four, but it was good speed under the skis, she says.

The winner was Italian Linda Zingerle ahead of Ukrainian Iryna Petrenko and Russian Anastasia Shevchenko.

The victory was Zingerle's first.

On the men's side, the Norwegian Filip Fjeld Andersen won.

The IBU Cup continues on Friday with a sprint.
