The Olympics in Milan and Cortina end this weekend, including the five-mile cross-country skiing.
The Swedish squad was to be released on Thursday, but the association chose to move forward the team selection due to “uncertainty around some active”.
Now it is clear who will get the chance.
On the women’s side, Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, Emma Ribom and Jonna Sundling will run this weekend’s five-mile race.
This means that Linn Svahn and Moa Ilar are the ones left over.
– Linn Svahn has gone home. She went home yesterday after being ill at the beginning of the week. Now the decision has been made that she will go home.
Moa Ilar has also gone home.
Of the men, it is Gustaf Berglund, Calle Halfvarsson, Johan Häggström and William Poromaa who get the chance.
Edvin Anger is thus over.
– Edvin has had a tough championship, there were sporting and medical question marks before the five-mile. He has been very tired, says men’s coach Lars Ljung during Friday’s press conference.
Alvar Myhlback and Truls Gisselman have already gone home to Sweden.
– We have spoken to Alvar, but as you have seen, he is in full vassal race mode now. So flying here and doing five miles was out of the question, says Anders Byström, national team coach.
