The Swedes had a tough starting position in the chase after Friday's heavy result in the sprint.
Hanna Öberg went out as 30th and started with two misses in the first shot.
But then she went up and became the best Swede in tenth place.
- It's a good race she's doing today, she's still in good shape.
The skis worked and she was responsible for a solid climb, it was the starting position that made it a higher placement, says SVT Sports expert Björn Ferry.
Anna Magnusson went for a good race as she advanced several places, but two misses in the last shot meant she lost.
She entered in 14th place.
Marte Olsbu Rösieland won after a Norwegian sprint duel against Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold where she was strongest in the finish.
Third was Anais Chevalier-Bouchet.
- Oh, how strong she is Röiseland, says Björn Ferry.
