The ski kings Gunde Svan and Thomas Wassberg pay tribute to the World Cup jump Edvin indicates the World Cup and give him good advice:
– Think in the long term and do not be in a hurry. I made that mistake, says Svan.
– He may have to choose between sprint and distance in the future, says Wassberg.

Gunde swan about indicates
Gunde Svan sees several similarities between itself and indicate:
– In the way you want to go everything when the shape feels good. He is certainly not used to thinking about the World Cup in this situation. So it was with me. I couldn’t get hit by (Thomas) Wassberg. Not even in an ethlusion competition. It was always the iron when you were that age.

Swan mentions Anger’s biggest challenge:
– When you are in cannon form you just want to compete because it is so much fun. Then it is important to be able to raise the eyes and think what is best in the long run, which is very difficult. It is like teaching children that the stove is warm if you have just fired in it. It doesn’t matter how many times you say it. They have to burn themselves in order for them to understand that it is warm.
Edvin Anger laughs and answers:
– Yes, it is a little. I will try to solve it mature and I will not burn myself. I understand the anxiety, but I am young and hungry and see no restrictions in myself.
Wassberg about Edvin
Thomas Wassberg Thinking about how Edvin Anger should be able to be both sprint and distance skiers.
– It’s a difficult balancing act. If you want to be the best on sprint, you easily get worse at a distance and vice versa. Only Edvin can determine what will be best for him.
Wassberg continues:
– In the future he can become a better distance rider. When you are older, you get a little tougher at the same time as the speed disappears.

Edvin indicates:
– My goal is to become a good distance rider. I’m well on my way. But it will be required a few years before I become a constantly good distance rider.
Both Gunde Svan and Thomas Wassberg have high hopes for the talent before the World Cup in Trondheim:
– Probably I think he takes some pallet placement. In the first place in sprint, but it is not inconceivable that it happens in any distance race, says Wassberg.
– If he can keep the shape, it will go wonderfully well. But it is difficult as a 22-year-old to keep the shape for several months, Svan adds.
