The so-called “breakout trio” is back in the Swedish national ski team again.
Now, for the first time, Jonna Sundling opens up about that news.
– That’s how it feels now that they have come back, says the Swedish skiing star to SVT.
Recently it was announced that Frida Karlsson, Maja Dahlqvist and Lynn Svahn makes a comeback in the Swedish national ski team again. They were called the “breakout trio” before last season when they chose to leave the national team and run on their own training plans.
Sundling’s words
But this year, all three have managed to resolve the conflict with the national team management and thus an already strong national team squad is strengthened with additional blue-yellow stars on the women’s side. Next season, they will once again compete with Norway for which is the world’s best skiing team.

– I think we feel like a more complete team now that they have returned, Jonna says in an interview with SVT Sport.
– It feels very good that they are choosing that path again. It’s good for the team, we are many strong skaters and we push each other hard to get better, I think.
