Märta 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.
SportsFirst competition in over a month. Then, ski star Linn Svahn delivered a power demonstration in the World Championship rehearsal. I needed this ahead of this year's highlight, she says after the victory in the classic World Cup sprint in Falun.
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.
SportsEdvin Anger continues to show fine form even in distance events ahead of the World Championship. The 22-year-old finished fourth in the 10-kilometer freestyle and just missed the podium. A good level in the body, and it's fun to ski then, he says.
SportsFinally, Maja Dahlqvist. The victory in the classic sprint in Italian Cogne was the Swedish cross-country star's first individual World Championship cup victory in over three years. "I thought 'either I win or I die'", says Dahlqvist.
SportsOne day: an impressive podium finish. Next: fiasco. Oskar Svensson was eliminated already in the qualifying round in Saturday's World Cup sprint in Cogne.
