Several Swedish ski stars are missing from the World Cup races in Davos. Swedish top names in cross-country skiing, Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, and Linn Svahn, will not be competing in the upcoming races. It was already planned for Karlsson and Andersson not to participate in their preparations for the World Championships. However, Linn Svahn is absent due to illness. On the men's side, Calle Halfvarsson will also be missing due to back issues, while Jens Burman makes his return after missing the competitions in Lillehammer.

For those following the skiing events, this absence raises questions about the team’s performance and preparation ahead of the World Championships.
