Torgny Mogren saw the Swedish WC squad.
After reaching the podium in the World Cup, Edvin Anger is now raging.
– They can give a damn about it, he tells Expressen.
It was last week that Torgny Mogren, Swedish skiing icon and now an expert on Radiosporten, directed great criticism at the Swedish men’s squad for the WC. Mogren said that there are only three Swedish skaters who are real medal hopes in the WC.
“Many who doubt”
Mogren singled out Edvin Anger, Calle Halfvarsson and William Poromaa, but said that the rest have nothing to do with the competitions. He said that it was possible to poke “anyone the hell”, since there is no talk of any medals anyway. But this weekend the gentlemen proved Mogren wrong.

Only two of the medal jumps that Mogren pointed out were in the relay in Toblach. Then Sweden took the first podium place in the relay since 2017. Edvin Anger was the one who sprinted Sweden to a second place, and afterwards he sent a pass to all the doubters.
– There are many who doubt us. When you look inside and check social media, there are a lot of comments against the men that we have nothing to do with the WC, he tells Expressen.

The pass to Mogren
Edvin Anger also sends a clear pass towards Torgny Mogren.
– Two of those who will be at the WC are here and two others are taking home a podium place here today. We prove that we have something to do at the WC, he says, and continues:
– They can give a damn about throwing a lot of crap at us.
Edvin Anger believes that the Swedish men have now shown that they have something good going on, and that there is hope for a medal in several distances during the WC.
– I have nothing to answer. We proved it on the track today. It’s just a matter of checking what we’re doing today. We are doing something good and if they want to be part of that journey, they can be part of both the ups and downs.
