Tilda Johansson and Anton Ivarsson, who both competed in the World Cup last week, are traveling home to Östersund to train. The head coach John Luke explaining:
– We see a good development curve with both Tilda and Anton and want it to continue like that. Both had some trouble during the summer and missed a lot of training due to injuries. They have competed for two weekends and now we want them to go back to training and get a good training block for three weeks at home, he says in a press release.
