Sweden’s team for the U23 WC
In a press release, the Swedish Skiing Association has named its U23 national team in cross-country skiing for 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.
The Swedish national team will travel to Canada on Thursday to prepare for the nine days of the championships at Whistler Olympic Park, the venue that hosted the 2010 Olympic skiing events.
“Everyone is really looking forward to getting started, and for many this is the big goal of the season. I think we all feel that it will be a great experience to go to the other side of the Atlantic for a prestigious championship on classic Olympic soil, says Mattias Nilsson, coach of Team Svenska Spel, in press release.
After the canceled competitions in Rovaniemi, Finland, the Scandinavian Cup moved to Falun, Sweden, on January 13-15 and the Swedish U23 team was unveiled on Monday, January 16.
