Linn Svahn has not competed since Tour de Ski. First due to "high load", and then she fell ill before the National Championships. Now, however, the sprint star is back. Ahead of this weekend's World Cup competitions in Falun, the 25-year-old is back in the team.
SportsBoth William Poromaa and Ebba Andersson finished the National Championship with a form announcement. But the routine can be at least as important in the World Championship team to Trondheim. We must be prepared for an enormous pressure, says national team manager Anders Byström.
SportsBoth Frida Karlsson and Linn Svahn are missing again in the squad for the World Cup competitions in Cogne. Jonna Sundling also chooses to opt out.
SportsSkiing talent Alvar Myhlback, 18, is going his own way and was not selected for the Junior World Championship. The snub is upsetting Keith Karlsson, who has been an agent for several sports stars who have succeeded thanks to their own paths to success: The fact that Alvar Myhlback is not listening to the association is a sign of freshness, says Karlsson.
SportsAlvar Myhlback, 18, is dropped from the World Championship after skipping the selection competitions. A-national team stars Edvin Anger and Maja Dahlqvist are behind the federation's decision. "He can't care less, that's how it is," says Anger.
SportsEbba Andersson, Frida Karlsson and William Poromaa are all skipping the World Cup competition in Swiss Engadin this weekend. The trio, who achieved success last weekend, are already entering World Championship preparations.
SportsNow William Poromaa knows how it feels to win in the World Cup. The 24-year-old sprinted past Iivo Niskanen for his first individual career victory. It's completely crazy. You've been waiting your whole life for this moment, says the Swedish cross-country star.
SportsSweden's ski sprinters have been waiting for a World Cup victory for over four years. Edvin Anger fixed the beef. The 22-year-old won the classic sprint in Les Rousses. It's so unreal, says the 22-year-old.
