    Yes the two of them collided and both went down. Probably Karlssons fault but haven’t seen any footage. Apparently, Sundling had to jump to avoid being tangled up

    So Sweden won the women’s nation cup for the first time ever! Ofcourse Emilien Jacquelin was instrumental in that win as his disqualification in the mixed relay last week costed France the title (as mixed relay earn you half of relay points in both genders)

    To be fair Svahn did that in 2024 (as did Frida), she actually did more racing than Diggins who skipped most relays. I think Svahn really likes to race and the main reason she skips race are due to injuries or illness. Sundling has the same coach as Kalla so she is more into skipping races...

    I think its a bit stupid to race this weekend right after the Olympics but I suppose the reason is they want to organize in all three (four with Drammen) Nordic venues and Lake Placid

    I am not sure if Anger lost weigth, he still look very big too me. He admitted the preparations was messed up and will never preamp with the team again. Most of Swedish team had the precamp in Seefeld but of the ones with big sucess only Svahn was there. Karlsson in Lavaze, Sundling & Dahlqvist...

    I think it’s a general problem the Swedish men spend too much time in the gym. The women’s gym program is very successfu and their coach previously worked as a performance coach within Ice Hockey. But they have less muscles to begin with and focusing on strength training means they can use...

    Funnily enough the Swedish announcers on state television tends to do that too. I think it all started in 2019 when Frida was new and when they get really excited by one or the others performance they might still accidently call out the wrong name. To make matters more fun there is actually a...

    Apparently the ticket and hotel prices in Val di Fiemme are sky rocket high aswell. Remember reading the same about Planica Worlds

    Elvira has had a bad habit of shooting very poorly in sprints and much better in puirsuits (where she start far behind) and masstarts (where she always i very competitive). Hopefully today was the turning point. She suffered form illness in December so I think she will ski even faster the...

    Slind has become ill and us out of the Tour. Sad because now Diggins victory seems certain. I had hoped for a great duel today and Sunday

    Myhrvolds discolated her shoulder during the fall and the season is probably over for her. What a shame

    The quote circulating is in English, but she originally said it in Swedish, and the nuance is important. She never mentioned the word “boycott,” nor did she make any firm declaration. She described how she felt right then and was very clear that she didn’t know how she would act if she actually...
