Talents Get Their Chance in the World Cup

Alvar Myhlback and Evelina Crüsell have been given the opportunity to compete in this weekend's World Cup events in Lillehammer, Norway. Both athletes were overlooked for the season opener in Ruka, but they have made the cut for the team heading into the next round of competition.

The Swedish squad will comprise all the usual stars, including Emma Ribom, who missed the sprint event in Ruka due to back issues, and Johanna Hagström, who celebrated her first World Cup victory in that same event.

This season presents a significant platform for these young talents to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level in the world of cross-country skiing.
