Training chaos ahead of World Championship: "Life-threatening"

Frozen tracks on the World Championship courses are causing trouble for the cross-country skiing teams. Sweden moved its training on Tuesday morning. That was life-threatening, says Edvin Anger to Expressen.

Several national teams chose on Tuesday to postpone or cancel their training sessions due to icy tracks.

Norway moved its training forward by an hour.

Sweden decided to move its training from the World Championship tracks at Granåsen.

That's bloody dangerous, says Edvin Anger after having tested the tracks.

Two days before the World Championship starts, the conditions are not good.

Right now, it's not at a level we wish for. We're not sending out any skiers in this, we're waiting for a few hours. Then it will be better when the sun is shining, says Great Britain's coach Jostein Vinjeru to Expressen.
