Olympic Games bronze medalist from Paris 2024, fought for a long time but had to give up in the sprint against the Dutchwoman Puck Pieterse.

After the race, the 31-year-old was still very pleased with the second place.

I had a very smart race today and am proud of it. Puck is always very strong and I knew I had to keep an eye on her, says Rissveds in Eurosport's broadcast.

Perhaps the Swede showed too much respect for the strong Dutchwoman in the sprint. Rissveds admits that she does not thrive when it gets crowded and it takes a few elbows to win.

I'm working on it but I prefer to compete in my solitude, she says.
