TWO GOLDS LAST YEAR – NOW ALVAR MYHLBACK IS NOT SELECTED FOR JVM

Alvar Myhlback, an 18-year-old skier who achieved significant success last year, will not participate in this year's Junior World Championships (JVM). In an interview, Myhlback expressed his disappointment, indicating that he feels that his exclusion is not based on sports performance.

Team leader of the junior national team, Linda Danvind Malm, emphasized that Myhlback was informed of the selection criteria prior to the decision. These criteria require performance in the national junior cup, which is designed to ensure fair conditions for all athletes competing for a spot on the team.

This exclusion is a stark contrast to Myhlback's impressive results from the previous year, as he looks forward to competing but now faces a different path this season.
