Anna Magdalena Iljans, née Jonsson (born 26 September 1969) is a Swedish freestyle skier, specializing in ski cross.[1]
Iljans competed at the 2010 Winter Olympics for Sweden. She placed 11th in the qualifying round in ski cross, to advance to the knockout stages. She finished second in her first round heat, advancing to the quarterfinals. She did not finish her quarterfinal race, failing to advance.
