Only a few weeks ago, the Norwegian cross-country team announced that Kristine Stavås Skistad had undergone a stomach operation and would be out for an indefinite period.

But now she's already back in the team, ahead of this weekend's World Cup sprint in Lillehammer.

She's ready to compete. It's very fun. It's a victory in itself, says her coach Lage Sofienlund to NRK.

Thus, the Norwegian sprint star makes her season debut on home soil.

But whether the form is there is still unclear.

After a period like this, Kristine's form is far from her best, but she's... sick in the head, so I think she'll be able to get a good race with the body she has, continues Sofienlund.

In recent seasons, Kristine Stavås Skistad has been the major threat to the Swedes in sprint.

Johanna Hagström surprisingly won last weekend's World Cup premiere in sprint in Ruka. Maja Dahlqvist came third.
