Before the second change, IFK Umeå's Elina Rönnlund pulled away from Piteå's Lisa Vinsa and gave yesterday's winner Linn Sömskar a five-second lead on the final stretch in heavy snowfall on an overcast Billingen in Skövde.

- I tried to gather strength for the last hill where I knew there would be a run, says Elina Rönnlund about the push that gave the important seconds to Sömskar.

Anna Dyvik from IFK Mora had to go out 1.11 after the lead but had the bronze medal in a firm grip.
