Sweden had a cold-related end to the Olympics, where a number of skiers were forced to withdraw from the 5 km. Now the problems continue ahead of the home competitions in Falun this weekend.

Ebba Andersson, Jonna Sundling, William Poromaa and Edvin Anger had previously withdrawn due to illness - now Calle Halfvarsson has also fallen ill, the cross-country team announces.

Halfvarsson was supposed to have run the skiathlon on Sunday.

Frida Karlsson, who became ill towards the end of the Olympics, will, however, start - but will skip Saturday's sprint in favor of the skiathlon.
