WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Despite being the most winning Swedish athlete on the World Cup circuit, Linn Svahn has never managed to secure a medal at the World Championships. With an injury‐free season, she has been able to arrange her competition schedule exactly as she wanted, even though there have been periods of frustration.

“Knowing that we dared to hold back our form for so long has been frustrating, but it was part of the plan,” says Svahn.
