Another ski season is underway and expectations are high for our Swedish national team skiers. On the women’s side, Sweden is considered to have the world’s best national team and on the men’s side, there are some really interesting names on the rise.
The Swedish success
The World Cup’s premiere weekend in Ruka gave our blue-yellow national team a real dream start, where the ladies went on the knock straight away. Emma Ribom won the sprint race on Friday, Ebba Andersson won the distance race on Saturday and the giant shock Moa Ilar took the very first World Cup victory of his career on Sunday.

Now the World Cup continues to Swedish soil and Gällivare. One more stop during the tour around the skiing world and there will be a lot of travel days per season where the national team skiers live close to each other.
Choose Sundling
It is also a very tight group that knows a lot about each other. Now the blue-and-yellow cross-country skiers have been forced to reveal the secrets about each other, and when asked who is the national ski team’s biggest “fizz monster”, most agree touchingly.
– If you had seen Jonna Sundling in the gym, you would also have started thinking in terms of monsters. She is incredibly strong, says Ebba Andersson to Aftonbladet about Jonna Sundling.

Additional riders who Johanna Hagström, Moa Lundgren, Marcus Grate, Moa Ilar and Emma Ribom also singles out Jonna for her physical attributes.
– Jonna Sundling is a bit built for crossfit. Have you seen her do chins? It’s a sight, says Frida Karlsson to the evening newspaper and is approved by William Poromaa:
– Jonna Sundling, she is completely brutal. She could almost have been a weightlifter just as well. Some have probably seen the clip of her doing pull ups. It’s world class, he says, talking about the video that you can see further down.

Jonna Sundling actually also chooses herself when she gets the same question.
– Physic monster? I love the gym! It might be strange to say it yourself, but I really like being in the gym and lifting heavy. But now I’m a cross-country skier and can’t keep up as I want. Who knows how it would have ended then?, she says and admits that she always wanted to try crossfit.
Surely Jonna Sundling is a physical phenomenon? Share the article and have your say!
