Sweden’s team for the junior WC
In a press release, the Swedish Skiing Association appointed its cross-country skiing team to the Junior WC. Sweden will start with ten athletes. On the women’s side, Sweden will start with five skaters. Already on the men’s side, five athletes will also start for the Scandinavian country.
– There were big and important competitions in Lycksele for our Swedish juniors, says Andreas Domeij, coach of Team Svenska Spel Junior National Team, in press releaseand continues:
“There are a few places to deploy, so many will have the opportunity to compete internationally in the future, but the first focus is our Junior World Cup team.”
“We have many high-class skiers who already have international experience from major championships. We travel with a team where many know each other from before. Nevertheless, a couple of new interesting names will have the opportunity to make their international championship debuts during the Junior World Cup,” says Domeij.
The Swedish national team will travel to Canada on Thursday next week to prepare for the nine days of the championships at Whistler Olympic Park, the venue that hosted the 2010 Olympic skiing event.
“The Junior and U23 World Championships are the big goals of the season for the younger riders and we want to give them optimal conditions to prepare for a good championship,” concludes Andreas Domeij.
After the canceled competitions in Rovaniemi, Finland, the Scandinavian Cup moved to Falun, Sweden, on January 13-15 and the Swedish U23 team is expected to be presented on Monday, January 16.
