Linn Svahn did not come to the start in Sunday's three-mile mass start in Falun.
However, Ebba Andersson did, who recently returned after being affected by covid-19.
And the Swedish star was superior throughout the race.
Andersson had the leading position from the start and after seven kilometers she started to create a decent gap.
Halfway through the race, she was just over a minute ahead of Linn Sömskar, who was then in second place.
The distance continued to increase and Andersson crushed the opposition with a time that was almost two and a half minutes faster than the runner-up Sigrid Leseth Föyen.
A few seconds after her, Anna Svendsen moved into third place.
Then followed a Swedish double in the form of Moa Lundgren and Linn Sömskar.
