Sweden’s U20 riders did not perform at all during JVM in Italy.
SVT expert Anders Blomquist was one of all those who missed Petting Alvar Myhlback in the national team squad.
– It was such a bad decision and there are only losers, he says.
It was a big snack ice cream in advance, that the Swedish ski association chose to poke its big star Alvar Myhlback18, who took two golds at JVM last year. With the facts in hand, it was perhaps an error decision, given that the Swedish juniors combed zero. Only at U23 level, Sweden picked medals, thanks to, among others Märta Rosenberg.
Anders Byström’s words about Myhlback
It is widely known that Alvar Myhlback knew about the union’s regulations and that he knew that he had to carry out certain qualifying competitions in order to be selectable to JVM. However, both he and several others believed that the union could see between his fingers about him because he won two gold last year.

Sweden’s national team manager Anders Byström Have previously said this to the site Langd.se:
– It is like any company, that you communicate something that should apply during the company’s financial year. Then that is what applies. And we have communicated that already this fall. In this case, Linda (responsible Team Svenska Spel has the junior national team) communicated directly with Alvar also what was required to be selected for the Junior World Cup. So that he has made a choice and not embraced it. It is very boring.
Anders Blomquist is disappointed on the covenant
Now that JVM is over and it became obvious that Sweden was missing Alvar Myhlback, says SVT expert Anders Blomquist, which he also said before the championship, that it was a gigantic mistake to noble the super talent.
“It’s so stupid so there isn’t,” he says in an SVT broadcast.

He believes that the decision was not justifiable, despite the fact that the union referred to various provisions.
– It’s so strange. And everyone you talk to internationally just shakes your head. It was such a bad decision and there are only losers, he says.
