Stina Nilsson had been the big favourite if she not gone on a muscle strain on January 19, in Otepää. All of the Swedish female rider has great chances to take a place on the podium. Maja Dahlqvist, and Jonna Sundling and Hanna Falk is not a bad trio. Ida Ingemarsdotter, fifth in total sprintcupen, is poked.
Norway’s Maiken Caspersen Falla is the reigning world champion and Sophie Caldwell is the sharpest of all of amerikanskorna.
There was hope in Oskar Svensson, OS fifth a year ago, but he has not succeeded this season. Calle Halfvarsson has speeden but the question is if the forces are enough? Teodor Peterson has finally arrived in time but takes hardly a final.
John Hösflot Kläbo, who else? The Norwegian has won eight world cup races and been second in a. Italian Federico Pellegrino is him beat but seldom reach past the. Emil Iversen, Norway, Alexander Bolsjunov, Russia, and Lucas Chavanat, France, is the rider who can challenge for the medals.

: Charlotte Kalla opened the OLYMPICS to take home gold in the skiathlon. But the question is how the shape is. The cold broke the SM-a week to exercise but have a habit to show up to their best at the major championships. Ebba Andersson has shown that she is capable to defeat as good as any and can get a medal.
Therese Johaug is as big a favorite at this distance on the all the other she sets up in.
It is difficult to see a swede in the top of the skiathlon. Daniel Rickardsson has left formsvackan behind however, enough hardly. Jens Burman, who was so promising as a junior, can not get to it when he meets the big boys. Calle Halfvarsson go ”if I win the sprint by far”.
Norway, with Emil Iversen, Sjur Röthe, Martin Johnsrud Sundby, and John Hösflot Kläbo, everyone can win. Russians Sergey Ustiugov, the reigning world champion, and Alexander Bolsjunov will give the norwegians a match.

Can Stina Nilsson go? Who of Maja Dahlqvist, and Jonna Sundling get the chance? Another question is who will finish, the aforementioned trio all have a spurt that mowing down most of the time. No matter what that may take on your bibs so Sweden is the favorite in the lagsprinten.
Figure never removed Norway, even if the Maiken Caspersen Fall been forced to give up for the Swedish skaters more times than she hoped for in the winter. Russia and the united states have riders that means that they may be in the medaljstriden.
Calle Halfvarsson is given and it is likely that Mr Thorn is the one who gets the chance even if Oskar Svensson and Teodor Peterson want to be in the team. Want it well, Sweden can be in the battle for the bronze.
st. John Is Hösflot Kläbo with when he goes out on the sistasträckan, everything speaks for it, so it is a sensation if Norway doesn’t win. Russia, France, Italy is also in the förhandssnacket for the medals.
Charlotte Kalla in the classic tracks. 10 kilometers has been a favoritdistans – we get to see a smile after the finish? Photo: Jonas Lindkvist
this has been Charlotte Called favoritdistans. Will she find back to the mästerskapsform she wont show up so is cool in the fight for the medals. Ebba Andersson is, of course, also a large svenskhopp.
Therese Johaug put full speed from the beginning and it will very much if anyone will be able to match the five times. Teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen was third at the distance at the OLYMPICS, Jessica Diggins, united states:s blizzard, and Finnish veteran Krista Pärmäkoski is also to be reckoned with.

It is now Calle Halfvarsson be hit. But the expectations should not be too high, Halfvarsson has a single podium in the winter, and it is from the 25 november, when he finished third at this distance in Ruka. Daniel Rickardsson on a good day, so he can get into the top ten.
Finn Iivo Niskanen is the reigning world champion and has distance as its major focus. But Niskanen is going to get it tough, both Norway and Russia have enormously strong rider no matter what they choose to put on the starting line. Alexander Bolsjunov was superior in rehearsal in Cogne.
Sweden took silver at the world CHAMPIONSHIPS two years ago. Then with Stina Nilsson, Charlotte Kalla, Anna Haag and Ebba Andersson. Big medaljchans again this year. Photo: Jonas Lindkvist
this can be a great time. Charlotte Kalla and Ebba Andersson is given, Stina Nilsson concludes she is healthy and in shape. The question is who takes the take-off distance? Ida Ingemarsdotter has shown good results in distansloppen, Hanna Falk is challenging but has been demoted in the past.
Norway, you can basically set it up with the team that won the world CHAMPIONSHIP in Lahti and the OLYMPICS in Pyeongchang. And who would say that it is a disadvantage to Therese Johaug coming in when Marit Björgen added? Russia is also in the battle for a place on the podium.

the Relay has been a bit of a paradgren but in the OLYMPICS in 2018, ended in Sweden just five. Then dropped Jens Burman too much on the initial route, in case Sweden was more than two minutes after the victorious Norway. There are many indications that Jens Burman, Calle Halfvarsson, Daniel Rickardsson and Victor Thorn have confidence.
Russia has impressed, not least when they won the double in Ulricehamn at the end of January. Norway, who won OLYMPIC relay, has, of course, a strong team and France, the third in the OS, should also be able to be in the lead.
Ebba Andersson has convinced in the world cup in the winter. A great medal hopes along with Charlotte Kalla. Photo: Jonas Lindkvist
this can be Ebba Andersson’s big chance. 21-year-old from the town of Sollefteå likes long distances and has a heart and a competitive, who can compete with the very best. Charlotte Kalla, who became bortvallad in the OS, want revenge. Other Swedish racers get harder to keep up with when the train goes by.
Constantly this Therese Johaug. The previous dopningsavstängda the Norwegian outclassed all on the 15-kilometer race in Beitostölen, Cold was second, beaten by 1.06 minutes. Now is the risk that the distance becomes even greater.
Daniel Rickardsson like the distance, but prefer the classic style. The best Swedish card, but probably no medal hopes in spite of everything. Photo: Henrik Montgomery/TT
It was five years ago, Daniel Rickardsson won the femmilen in Holmenkollen, and then, in a classic style, a style that suits Rickardsson better than freestyle. None of the swedes have done results that you can hope in a, from the Swedish perspective, the exciting conclusion of the world CUP.
Now would probably Simen Hegstad Krüger, who, despite his OLYMPIC gold medal in Seoul petades from the skiathlon, to have an individual medal. But the Norwegian gets to see up with the canadian Alex Harvey, the russians Sergey Ustiugov and Alexander Bolsjunov. And their countrymen, of course.
