Cross-Country Skiing at the Nordic Skiing FIS World Championships 2023

But even more shock in the Swedish Team, no Jonna Sundling!

Ribom, Andersson, Karlsson and Dahlqvist is the team.

Silver for Esteve Altimiras in the non-asthmatic category.

Next up Women Relay. Germany and USA could threaten Scandinavians, after quite good performances Italy could be a surprise. 

 

Slovenia will compete for the first time in this order. (Eva Urevc, Anita Klemenčič, Anja Mandeljc, Neža Žerjav)

 

We should cope with Latvia and Kazakhstan, maybe even Czechs. Top 8 would be a dream, top 10 has to be main goal.

 

Our girls were 9th in 2019, with 17 teams. Best result came in 2011, when they finished 7th.

 

 

13 teams on start is the smallest number since 2003 (12 teams).

Do we know he doesn't use asthma medication though?

Interesting result, the swedish women are dominating the sprint, but 5 km already seems like too much for some of them. Finland and the US don't have four good athletes. Germany has a good chance to win more relay medals in the next half 5-10 years. The finish/american women don't look too promising, but of course Russia could spoil the party.

In the end, as expected, aside from Sweden falling a bit more behind. 

 

Nice run from our team, this is what we have without Lampič, Višnar and Fabjan.
