Șdergren running femmilen in Falun РAftonbladet

Falun. He made his first World Cup femmil fourteen years ago.

Now, Anders Sodergren make their last front of the audience in Falun.

– Of course you have longed very much. It has been the absolute main goal this winter, he said.

We had a hunch already yesterday. Marcus Hellner had a tough stretch in the relay and staggered afterwards on Sunday femmil.

Would he give up and let the reserve Anders Sodergren compete?

– Anders is a good friend and a strong skiers also. I think he would do well there. We’ll see what it gets for its part, said Hellner.

Now it is clear that it is so.

During the Saturday morning was presented 37-year-old as one of the five Swedes to be run femmilen, which goes in a classic style.

Anders Sodergren have been with the national team during the World Cup without knowing if he would get the chance to compete.

Tricky temperature

– It is a bit special situation, but you get the slightest purple chance at a home World Cup must be prepared. It may never experience again, he said.

Södergren think the race will be hard, especially since the temperature seems to dance around zero, which is difficult in waxing point of view.

– It will to be a tough race. It’s hearty paths with many meters of altitude, he said.

The other passenger is Calle Halfvarsson, Johan Olsson, Daniel Richardson and Lars Nelson. To Hellner refrain looks Södergren as a beautiful gesture.

– He knows that he would rather hand over the stick to me. I am very grateful, says Anders.

What will you miss the

Championship?

– The Championships are the most fun. I usually light to go at best, especially over the past few years. You will miss the atmosphere and being out with the gang.

Femmilen determined 13:30 Sunday.
