Swedish cross-country skier Alvar Myhlback has confirmed he will not shift his focus from long-distance skiing to regular cross-country skiing. The 19-year-old stated he has no hesitation about his decision, despite the upcoming World Championships in Falun next year. Myhlback said he will complete the current season before considering his program for the World Championships, and if he participates, it will be as a long-distance skier.
He also emphasized he will not compromise on his contract with his team.
I have no hesitation about my decision.
If I compete in the World Championships next year, I will do so as a long-distance skier.
I will not compromise on my contract with my team.
