Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling, first and second in Friday's sprint, as well as Johanna Hagström, all choose to sit out the race to save their energy for Sunday's freestyle race, reports Expressen.
The same applies to Frida Karlsson, who, however, regretted her choice after being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the sprint on Friday.
"Now it's Sunday, unfortunately," she says.
However, the audience in Gällivare will see Ebba Andersson make her season debut.
I feel confident with the preparations I have made and my physical status – but somewhere I want confirmation that I am where I think I am, Andersson tells Expressen.
