Johan Olsson running Vasaloppet for the weekend – Expressen

Johan Olsson hesitated about whether he should run Vasaloppet or World Cup this weekend.

But now the World Championship gold medalist decided – it will be Vasaloppet.

– You just have to congratulate the Vasaloppet organizers of a World Cup hero at the starting line, says coach Richard Griffin to SVT.

Johan Olsson hesitated about whether he should run the World Cup in Lahti, Finland this weekend.

– Johan feels worn in the body after discharge in World Cup femmilen. He will take a decision later in the week if it gets Lahti or Vasaloppet for him on Sunday, said coach Richard Griffin on Tuesday.

But now the world champion decided. He stays at home and runs Vasaloppet.

Thus refrains he from World Cup competition.

– We have discussed Lahti as an easier option for Johan, but at noon today, he announced that he would carry out his first Vasaloppet, says Grip to SVT.

– It can only congratulate the Vasaloppet organizers of a World Cup hero at the start line in Berga village, Salen, on Sunday morning.

Since earlier, it is clear that even Stina Nilsson stands over the World Cup in Lahti because of a cold.

In contrast hope Grip she is back next week.

– The ambition is that she will go already in Drammen next Wednesday if all goes according to plan. But one has to see where the cold is going well, he said then.
