Sundling was 9.3 seconds faster than Ilar and a further 1.3 seconds ahead of Andersson when the race was decided in Umeå.
It was fun and it went well, I'm happy about that, Sundling tells SVT.
I've been surprisingly alert this late in the season, and I'm grateful for that.
Shortly before the start, it became clear that Frida Karlsson had withdrawn from the competition. According to SVT, she woke up with a sore throat.
Edvin Anger and William Poromaa did not run the men's half marathon due to fatigue. Leo Johansson then took home the first senior gold of his career. He finished just under seven seconds ahead of second-place Jonas Eriksson and just over 20 seconds ahead of bronze medalist Truls Gisselman.
