Several Swedish skiers suffered from colds during the weekend and also Maja Dahlqvist and Jens Burman had to throw in the towel. Therefore, the concern is growing in the blue-yellow national ski team.

Also Edwin Anger have felt sickness in the body. But still managed to compete over the weekend in Lillehammer.
– I got some shit in my body after last weekend (Ruka). But it’s better now, so I hope it will work out, he says to the evening newspaper.
– It’s silly right now. It feels like there are a lot of people who have a bit of a cold, when you walk around the dining room at the hotel, you’re coughing and it’s sizzling. So it’s important to adapt.
