Petter Northug Is also skeptical that we get to see Nilsson on the starting line in the World Cup.
– It’s probably a little exaggerated. I think she mainly trains for long races. It is good because she delivers there, but in terms of capacity she is not at the top level yet, Northug tells the Norwegian newspaper.

Another scenario that is painted is that Stina Nilsson, after the whole season with long-distance races, may be relevant for the five-mile at the Winter Olympics 2026 which runs in Val Di Fiemme.
– You have to start early in any case. I tried those paths during the Tour de Ski and they are brutal. There are so many slopes, says a questionable Petter Northug.
The Swedish Ski National Team has previously opened to include Stina Nilsson in a World Cup squad, with the requirement that she must carry out a qualifying race. And so far she has not traveled such a race, so the chance is very small that she shows up in Trondheim.
