There will be no five-mile race for Edvin Anger. A decision he has made himself.

He feels that there is a bit of energy missing. The last strength test becomes a bit too tough for him then. It's a self-imposed decision together with coach Lars Ljung, says men's coach Anders Högberg.

Instead, reserve Gustaf Berglund gets the chance, and thus makes his World Championship debut during the last men's competition.

He has been the first reserve and prepared for this race for the last month, one might say, continues Högberg.

Besides Berglund, Truls Gisselman also gets another chance, after his fine performance during Thursday's relay.

Additionally, the more experienced Jens Burman will participate, as well as the big medal hope William Poromaa, as expected.
