The 25-year-old was 10.5 seconds behind the winning Ebba Andersson, who won on a photo finish ahead of the Norwegian Therese Johaug. Jonna Sundling took the bronze and was three tenths of a second ahead of Karlsson at the finish.

I'm not skiing as I can on the classical (first 10 kilometers) but instead I'm skiing and straining myself all the way. I have a bit too poor grip and can't rely on my skis. It costs way too much.
She was brief when commenting on two of her teammates taking medals.
It was good.
