In addition to orienteering, Tove Alexandersson invests in ski alpinism (skimo).
Last season, she was close to taking home the overall World Cup.
The victory in the vertical discipline in the competition in Andorra on Sunday means that Tove Alexandersson connects a real grip on the overall World Cup this year.
- I look forward to the rest of the season.
I hope I will be able to be even better at the end of the season, she says immediately after the finish.
The race was a total climb of 720 meters up for Comapedrosa, Andorra, and the Swedish star was first to finish with a time of 31.04.
She decided with a strong jerk towards the end where she hung by Gachet-Mollaret.
