Svahn’s nightmare

– It is an extremely long process, I think there are few who understand how much has been required of me and everyone around me. It’s a journey that we made together, to have me back in shape to be able to ski again and back to a normal sporting life. I’m really proud of that. They are all worth their weight in gold, she says in the interview.

So far, she has just one JVM bronze to show for it after the 2021 World Ski Championships were affected by the shoulder injury and she only managed an 11th place in Oberstdorf. And Svahn missed the Winter Olympics in 2022 completely, now she hopes to get revenge after the tough years with a WC medal.
– I am driven by having clear goals and high goals, but I do not have any major championship credentials. I have done well at the World Cup but not at the championships. That’s something I want to change. I want to get there and ride as fast as I can in the WC sprint. That was my goal two years ago and I was very well prepared for it. I want to continue to have that as a goal now and do everything I can to be as prepared as possible for it, says Linn to the local newspaper.
