Sweden had two young Swedes in the standing class, Ellen Westerlund, sprint seventh in her WC debut, and the Lima girl Louise Perottosdotter.

Westerlund came in tenth place.

- It was tough, but the body feels good, I got lactic acid after a few laps and then it was just a matter of fighting.

The skis went great, says Westerlund in an interview to SVT afterwards.

"Goed downhill better"

The 16-year-old was happy with his second WC race.

- It went downhill better than I thought it would.

You just have to do your best and fight both downhill and uphill, she says.

Perottosdotter came in eleventh place with a time of 35.28 just behind Westerlund.

The Norwegian Vilde Nilsen won the competition in 27.13.
