Sweden outclassed everyone and took a historic triple in the WC.
As usual, the royal couple sends a golden greeting – with an unexpected detail.
“You are the best girls in the world”, write the king and queen in their tribute.
It was a phenomenal start to the Ski World Cup 2023 in Planica, Slovenia, when our Swedish ski ladies took full advantage of the sprint in the World Cup premiere. As many as four blue-and-yellow skaters made it to the final, and there was a great, Swedish display.
Swedish triple
All four blue-and-yellow skaters finished ahead of the two Norwegians in the final race, and after the finish, a huge cheer erupted for our Swedish WC heroes. The reigning world champion Jonna Sundling won another WC gold in the sprint, Emma Ribom took care of the WC silver and Maja Dahlqvist clinched the WC bronze ahead of his teammate Lynn Svahn who came fourth.
