Ferry Svan, who comes from Vansbro, is the only Swede competing in the individual competition on Saturday.
– I have been training for the last time at home and perfected my form, did some nice races and had a good feeling, so I feel safe, he says.
Got to borrow equipment at the EC
Ferry was last on the podium in September when he took silver during the European Championships in Switzerland. He won the medal despite borrowing equipment as his stuff did not come on the plane.
– It must not happen again. Now we have secured properly. Some friends of mine are on their way down to France with the stuff in a car, he says.
Only valley men in the national team
The Swedish national team, consisting of only valley men, will participate in the team competition together on Friday. It is former EC and WC medalist Emil Hansson, team captain Calle Svadling, Ferry Svan and Pontus Skye.
