Linn Svahn is seriously back at the top of the world.
In recent weeks, the Swede has lined up World Cup victories.

Linn about Norway
During this year’s Tour de Ski, Linn got his big revenge by winning three out of seven stages and after the mini-tour, the 24-year-old has continued to line up sprint victories. Svahn tops the overall Sprint Cup for the season, just ahead of the Norwegian rival Kristine Stavå’s Ski City.

Despite the rivalry, Linn Svahn is clear about what she really thinks of neighboring Norway.
– Competition in skiing will not be the same without Norway, Svahn has admitted in an old interview with Norwegian NRK.
