Cold in the fight with Johaug – Sydsvenskan

But investments like she does not speak about now.

– It could be three others that make it super and I also go on the ability I have right now. Then I have to be happy, even if I’m not directly exuberant when I cross the finish line, says Kalla.

The fact that heavily pregnant Bjørgen absent in winter open for others to take over World Cup throne. Many see a throne duel between Charlotte Kalla and Therese Johaug during the season. They were both superior in their season premieres at home.

And they will have unusually many occasions to meet, because it is not a championship during the season.

– When mästerskapsår choose to remove more races. Now we have to try to maintain as high a level as possible throughout the season.

Cold has the advance just opted out of a single great world cup weekend, Slovenian Planica January 16 to 17, the weekend after the Tour de Ski.

– I must of course evaluate the way I’ll skip more races. If we lose shape in total maybe it’s better to put training in place.

The Swedish men’s team has a thinner squad for the World Cup premiere, since the veterans stopped, changed the track or become ill.

Instead, a skier Karl-Johan Westberg obtained a place in the mini tour in Ruka. It was the second place in Sverigepremiärens sprint last weekend that took him to Finland.

– It will be a blast to drive three races. I see myself as quite round, when I’m in shape, I can go well from a distance too, he says.

– I know what I can, I trust my own ability. When I get to that, I’m on that

level I was in Bruksvallarna and that’s enough to get by here, says Westberg with a fifth place in the SM-pin 2014 as best senior track.

Emil Jönsson and Teodor Peterson has seen better days of racing than in Bruksvallarna, but may still be seen as the heaviest Swedish sprint names in Ruka.
