SVT expert calls for special treatment of skier Myhlback

SportsSports
Key Points
  • SVT expert Mathias Fredriksson advocates special treatment for skier Alvar Myhlback in the national team.
  • Myhlback was previously dropped from junior World Championships for focusing on Ski Classics.
  • Fredriksson suggests not forcing Myhlback into the team to retain him for future events like the 2027 Falun World Championships.

SVT expert Mathias Fredriksson wants Alvar Myhlback to be treated differently in the national team. He received support from Edvin Anger, who said it should be okay to focus on long-distance skiing. Last year, Myhlback was dropped from the junior World Championships due to his commitment to Ski Classics.

Ahead of the home World Championships in Falun in 2027, Fredriksson argues the 19-year-old should not be forced into the national team to avoid losing him entirely, describing him as very young and a free spirit.
