Lina Korsgren was alert in the beginning and helped with the towing job in the group of four skiers who left early.

However, she crooked later and when almost half the race was over, Korsgren had been forced to let go.

There were several other skiers as well, the Norwegian Astrid Öyre Slind left and no one could follow.

Johansson Norgren found new strength

After 51.5 kilometers, the Norwegian Öyre Slind had the lead with over four minutes.

Ida Dahl lost the lead quite early and was already at 18 kilometers 2.28 minutes behind in seventh place.

She later joined Norgren and many probably thought that Dahl would then leave.

The two Swedes were then followed, but instead it was Johansson Norgren who ran the last kilometers towards the goal, on the easy-going parts.

Johansson Norgren was second, beaten by just over four minutes, Dahl went in third, 30 seconds behind Norgren.
