The effort from 50 kilometers cross-country skiing in slushy snow is not something you can joke about. The World Championship gold medalist on the distance, Frida Karlsson, is therefore opting out of this weekend's World Cup competitions in Oslo.
SportsThe Ski World Championship in Trondheim can be summed up as a Swedish giant success with a total of eleven medals. And now this year's championship is being compared to the medal rain in Planica two years ago. I almost think this is bigger, says national team manager Anders Byström.
SportsJonna Sundling delivered an incredible final stretch when she caught up 37.2 seconds on Norway, and won the relay gold for the Swedish team. Afterwards, the tributes poured in for the 30-year-old. We have witnessed a Swedish sports classic, says Viaplay's expert Johan Olsson.
SportsIt was set for a Norwegian relay gold. Then Jonna Sundling stepped into action – and delivered a finish that will go down in skiing history. Sweden's ladies won the World Championship relay in Trondheim.
SportsEmma Ribom, Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson and Jonna Sundling – it will be the quartet that competes for Sweden in Friday's relay at the World Championship in Trondheim.
SportsThe Swedish cross-country ladies are terrible guests in Trondheim. Maja Dahlqvist and Jonna Sundling brought home the sprint relay and snatched yet another gold, the fourth in a row, ahead of the Norwegian home crowd. "Snott and snott, we've worked hard for them," says Sundling.
SportsThe World Championship circus is rolling on, and on Wednesday, the sprint relay is waiting. Then Emma Ribom will be benched, despite being the reigning World Champion together with Jonna Sundling. The expectations are high, says national team manager Anders Byström.
SportsEmma Ribom had a weak quarterfinal in the World Championship sprint on Thursday. She couldn't understand why at first. The answer came later: She was hit by a racing heart. Really scary, she said to Viaplay.
SportsSnowfall that will turn into rain. The weather in Trondheim can become a nightmare for the skiers in today's cross-country race on the World Championship tracks. Not to mention the tough choices the voters are faced with.
SportsThe biggest gold favorite in the Ski World Championship's opening sprint comes from Norway, says Linn Svahn. Kristine Stavås Skistad doesn't disagree. She probably has a right to, answers the 26-year-old home hope.
SportsKarlsson vs Johaug, Sundling vs Skistad, Anger vs Klæbo. The World Championship in Trondheim is filled with hot Swedish-Norwegian duels – and more than that. Here's what's most important to keep track of ahead of the Norwegian ski festival.
SportsMärta Rosenberg and Anton Grahn achieved success at the U23 World Championship. Now the gold duo is being rewarded by getting to accompany the Swedish team to the Ski World Championship in Trondheim.
SportsSki star Linn Svahn has had a tough season, but was the fastest of all in the classical sprint qualifier in the World Cup competition in Falun. In the men's qualifier, Edvin Anger was third, but for two World Championship skiers, the day ended in a fiasco.
SportsLinn 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.
SportsJonna Sundling is going for her third consecutive World Championship gold in sprint. The final rehearsal could not have gone better. The distance star took the Swedish Championship gold by completely outclassing her national team colleagues.
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.
SportsSki star Jonna Sundling won the sprint on Saturday. The day after, she grabbed a fine third place in the mass start over 20 kilometers in Switzerland. I found a good pace, says Sundling to Viaplay.
