Jenny Rissveds thrives in Lenzerheide.

Today she took a narrow victory ahead of the home cyclists Alessandra Keller and Jolanda Keff as it was a short track on the schedule. 

The Swedish Olympic gold medalist from 2016 jerked with three laps left and got a gap of just over ten seconds.

Once in the finish line, the margin of victory was only one second large.

- I had no strategy, but I got a gap for a few laps, says Rissveds.

In the overall World Cup, Rissveds climbs to a third place.

She has 775 points and the leading Australian Rebecca McConnell stands at 1125 points.

Rissveds, who has struggled with mental illness, is currently enjoying competing.

- I feel balanced in life overall.

I'm happy and I love cycling.

I have gotten used to competing and started to like it.

I hope I can keep that feeling, she says.
