Ebba 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.
SportsIt was no successful comeback in the World Cup for Frida Karlsson. The Swede was far behind a superior Jessie Diggins and finished seventh on the 10-kilometer freestyle in French Les Rousses. I haven't had a really good feeling, says Karlsson to Viaplay.
SportsOverload injury in the foot stopped her from the Tour de Ski. Now Frida Karlsson is ready for the World Cup again. The skiing star makes a comeback in Les Rousses later in the week.
SportsIt was never any doubt about the matter, Therese Johaug won the Tour de Ski for the fourth time through a superior victory in the final stage. The best Swedish athlete became Ebba Andersson, who finished sixth overall.
SportsTherese Johaug won by a clear margin of half a minute. Ebba Andersson lost the sprint and finished fourth in the penultimate stage of the Tour de Ski, a 20-kilometer skiathlon.
SportsLinn Svahn finishes second in the World Cup sprint in classical style, which is stage five of seven in the Tour de Ski. The Swede could not out-sprint the Swiss Nadine Fähndrich on the short final climb in Italian Val di Fiemme and had to settle for a second place in the final.
SportsEdvin Anger has a new podium spot in sight in the Tour de Ski. The 22-year-old easily advanced from the sprint qualifier in Val di Fiemme.
SportsThree Swedish female cross-country skiers have already been forced to withdraw from the Tour de Ski in Italy due to illness – now a fourth withdrawal is coming. A few hours before the start of Friday's sprint stage in Val di Fiemme, the news arrives that Moa Lundgren has fallen ill.
SportsAstrid Øyre Slind and Therese Johaug were superior in the pursuit in Tour de Ski and now top the ski tour overall. Ebba Andersson moved up 15 places to 18th place.
SportsThe Norwegian Astrid Øyre Slind won the third stage of the Tour de Ski – ahead of the comebacking compatriot Therese Johaug. Moa Ilar became the best Swedish on an eighth place during an otherwise bleak blue-yellow New Year's Eve. Damn crappy race, says Ebba Andersson.
SportsIt won't be easy to stop Jessie Diggins in the Tour de Ski. The American has started the tour with two straight wins in Toblach.
SportsIt became a heavy first stage in the Tour de Ski for the Swedish cross-country skiing stars. It was all about pole crashes with falls, failed pursuits – and a broken pole. It was clearly worse than expected, says Linn Svahn, who was eliminated already in the quarterfinal, to SVT.
SportsThe Tour de Ski is finally underway. In the initial sprint qualification in Italian Toblach, Johanna Hagström was the best Swedish athlete, finishing in second place. It went much faster than I thought, she says to Viaplay.
SportsThe Norwegian skiing giant Therese Johaug is back – and on the hunt for her fourth overall victory in the Tour de Ski. Can title defender Jessie Diggins or Swedish hope Ebba Andersson challenge her? Here is everything you need to know about the tour.
SportsFrida Karlsson won the Tour de Ski two years ago. But the upcoming ski tour forces her to abstain due to foot problems. Seven competitions in ten days don't work right now, says national team manager Anders Byström.
SportsIt was a planned Norwegian victory in the women's 20 kilometer classical in Davos on Sunday. But it was not the big favorite Therese Johaug who took it home – but a 36-year-old long-distance specialist. I never believed that this would happen, says the winner Astrid Øyre Slind.
SportsJonna Sundling stood as the winner in yesterday's sprint – but it took a toll on her strength and she chooses to skip Sunday's race. Now only two skiers remain in the Swedish women's team in Davos.
SportsA cold stopped Linn Svahn in Lillehammer. Her replacement Moa Lundgren also fell ill. Now both will miss the World Cup competitions in Davos.
SportsIt looked for a long time like it was about two Norwegians. Then Jonna Sundling and Jessie Diggins took over – before the American won against the Swede after a sprint finish. I was more energetic than I thought, says Sundling after her second place.
SportsFrida Karlsson is skipping the 20 km freestyle event. Instead, she will help to develop perfect skis for the Swedish skiers. It will probably be good, says Karlsson.
SportsWilliam Poromaa and Calle Halfvarsson are included in the team for the World Cup premiere. Thus, the cross-country skiing national team travels to Ruka with all its stars.
