– The Tour de Ski was almost historically bad. There was no height. Edvin Anger Was for a while, he has also impressed especially in sprint but also at a distance. But if you look over the season, Sweden has riders who can take medals at all distances in the World Cup, the Norwegian continues.

Petter Solng Skinstad believes that the Swedish ladies have the ability to take medals at every distance in the World Cup. On the sprint there are many conceivable gold candidates. But even at 10 km classic, Frida Karlsson is the favorite and at the longer distances she and Ebba Andersson can challenge Therese Johaug And the others.

– The two who are the biggest medal hop are Frida Karlsson and Jonna Sundling, but we know that at sprint, Johanna Hagström has won in the World Cup, Maja Dahlqvist is good, Linn Svahn has a very high high level. It would not have shocked anyone if Sweden wins a triple on the women’s sprint. It is also not shocking about Ebba Andersson Finds its best shape and takes a medal. So on the women’s side, Sweden should take medals at every distance, says TV2 expert.
Tougher for Anger and Poromaa
He does not have as much confidence to Edvin AngerThe William Poromaa and Calle Halfvarsson. Solng Skinstad does not believe that it is an impossibility that there will be any medal, but it will for any of the male riders have a real cannon day for it to happen.
– On the men’s side, it will be more if there are medals. If Wille has a good day, if Calle has a good day … and then Edvin indicates both sprint and distance, they can take medals, he says.
– It’s hard to say that about Calle. He finished four in the five -mile in the last World Cup, then William came before him in third place. They can usually find the form when it comes to the most, so I believe in Swedish men’s medals, but I don’t think there will be so many, he concludes.
