The 27-year-old took her first World Cup victory of the season on Saturday when she won the classic mile. She followed this up by finishing third in Sunday's mass start over 20 kilometers.

Considering how my record has looked, it's with a positive feeling that I leave Falun and enter the final preparations for the World Championship, she says

Andersson chooses to prepare for the World Championship in Sollefteå before heading to Trondheim.

Andersson had a tough fight with Heidi Weng, Nora Sanness, and Jessie Diggins.

American Diggins won and took her sixth victory of the season in the World Cup. Norwegian Weng secured second place when she held off Ebba Andersson by a tenth of a second in the sprint.

I got a bit too defensive on the way to the stadium and that made me fall behind in the sprint, says Andersson.

I'm happy that it was enough for a podium spot today. I tried to maintain a higher tempo after lap three and then they dropped off one by one.

German Victoria Carl fell with a few kilometers left, broke a pole, and couldn't keep up with the quartet fighting for podium spots.

I lost my coordination, fell, and lost my pole. I'm still happy with the race and I'm in good shape, says Carl to Viaplay.

Moa Ilar finished 23rd, with Moa Hansson, Lisa Eriksson, and Elin Henriksson behind her in places 27-29.
