Moa Ilar became the best Swedish skier in a 20-kilometer race.

She aims for a World Championship ticket.

"We aren't handing any out today," says team manager Anders Byström to SVT Sport.

Over a year ago, Moa Ilar won the distance race in Ruka. Since then, the Swedish 27-year-old has experienced highs and lows.

In Toblach, she was the best Swedish competitor, finishing in eighth place. The question now is whether she has strengthened her chances for the World Championships.

"She has certainly made a much better application this time," says team manager Anders Byström to SVT Sport.
