Johan Olsson knows what it takes to win a World Cup gold.
He does not believe that Kristine Stavås Skistad will succeed in Trondheim.
– The question is whether she has the qualities, he tells the Sports Bible.
Only one week left for the ski World Cup in Norwegian Trondheim. One of the favorites to take home the sprint, which is launched on the first day, is the home run Kristine Stavås Skistad26. Thursday, March 27, she and the others will be ready for an incredible fight.
Olsson’s thoughts on Stavås Skistad
Stavås Skistad has had a special season and has not been able to compete as much as she wanted, partly because of a stomach surgery that she did just before the season, and partly because the World Cup upload demanded that the riders stand over certain World Cup weekends.

The Norwegian is often painted as mysterious, shy and unpredictable. That she has stayed isolated and has not talked so much with the media before the World Cup has led people to do not know what to expect from her.
– I think all the indications indicate that when she does so she becomes very, very dangerous. I would put her as the greatest threat to Jonna Sundling In the sprint, definitely. Especially considering how the track is designed. I think she has at least the design of the course on her side. Then the question is whether she has the qualities, because I would say that Jonna Sundling has 90 percent of the track. But the ending is advantageous, says Viaplay expert Johan Olsson to the Sports Bible.
He says that he certainly sees it as only positive for Kristine Stavås Skistad that she has stayed for herself this season. It has removed some of the press on her shoulders.
– That she is gone I think is a warning shot rather than a disadvantage, he says.

In addition to given gold candidate Jonna Sundling is found Linn SvahnThe Johanna HagströmThe Maja Dahlqvist and Emma Ribom As everyone has a chance on a medal. In the end, Johan Olsson does not believe in Stavås Skistad. He has another favorite in the World Cup.
-I think it is Jonna Sundling who will be the World Cup queen with three golds. That is, she wins the sprint, she wins the sprint relay and she is part of the Swedish relay team that also wins the women’s relay, he says.
