Elin Rönnlund opened strongly in the SM race over 10 kilometers in freestyle and was in the lead at 5.8 kilometers.

The 26-year-old had twelve seconds to spare on second-placed Moa Ilar.

- Extremely impressive, said SVT's commentator Jacob Hård when Rönnlund passed 5.8 kilometers.

Rönnlund continued to maintain a high pace and after 8 kilometers she had extended her lead to 14.9 seconds.

She crossed the finish line in 23:55.3 and won nine seconds ahead of Ilar.

- A very nicely completed race.

And how nice to have revenge, says SVT's expert Anders Blomquist.

Rönnlund was doing well in the sprint quarter-finals on Monday when she suddenly went wrong.
