The Swedish ski team has been announced for the final World Cup weekend in Lake Placid, USA. All the Swedish stars are included in the squad. The events include a 10 km classic on Friday, a freestyle sprint on Saturday, and a 20 km freestyle mass start on Sunday.
This marks the first time since 1979 that the World Cup circuit is coming to Lake Placid. The women's team is strong, featuring Olympic champions Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, Jonna Sundling, Maja Dahlqvist, and Linn Svahn. Emma Ribom returns to the World Cup scene after illness, while Moa Lundgren is reportedly left out of the team.
I had a feeling I would not be selected.
Lundgren said after a sprint in Drammen that she had a feeling she would not be selected. The men's team is reportedly thinner, with Edvin Anger, William Poromaa, Calle Halfvarsson, and Alvar Myhlback not traveling to the USA. Team manager Anders Byström stated in a press release that ending the season in Lake Placid will be a big experience for everyone, recalling the electric atmosphere in Minneapolis two years ago and rumors of something similar this time.
