Marcus Grate kicked out of the national team - Of course it's sad

Sprinter Marcus Grate made it back to the A-team last season. But after a terrible winter, he has at least done enough to remain there for the upcoming season. Grate's best finish in Davos was 25th, and he did not qualify for the Olympics.

"Of course it's boring. But at the same time it's something that motivates me. I'm looking forward to putting everything out there according to my beliefs," he wrote in a text message to SVT.

Now he wasn't the only one who had a slow season. The entire men's team had a tough season. That's why Grate believes that more people will have to step aside when the squad is presented in the coming days.

"I haven't talked to the others, but there will probably be big changes," Grate wrote.

The cross-country skiing national team has been without a national team manager since Anders Byström left.
