In the recent World Cup sprint competition in Les Rousses, Maja Dahlqvist clocked an impressive finish, securing the second place while the Norwegian Kristine Stavås Skistad took the victory.

Dahlqvist expressed satisfaction with her performance, stating, "If I had had two better positions heading into the final stretch, I could have challenged for the win. It feels good to know I have the speed."

The race also saw Swedish skier Jonna Sundling finishing strong in third place, further contributing to a successful outing for the Swedish team.

This event highlights the competitive spirit in cross-country skiing, with Dahlqvist and Sundling showing promise as they prepare for upcoming challenges in the World Cup series.
