Sprint specialist Linn Svahn of Sweden secured the first major distance win of her career as she earned a second consecutive victory at the International Ski Federation Tour de Ski.

Svahn, winner of yesterday's sprint, showed her capability over a longer course as she triumphed in the women's 10 kilometres race in Val Müstair.

The 21-year-old crossed the line in 30min 09.9sec, 0.7sec clear of Russian Yulia Stupak in second.

American Jessie Diggins, who finished second behind Svahn in the sprint, was third, a further 0.1 adrift of the Swede.
