Tallinn, Estonia, is the place for this Tuesday’s cross-country skiing World Cup with a sprint in freestyle technique on March 21. 

In a press release, the Swedish Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming World Cup in Tallinn. Sweden will start with 13 athletes. On the women’s side, Sweden will begin with 7 skiers. Already on the men’s side, 6 athletes will start for the Scandinavian country. 

“Now we are looking forward to the World Cup in Estonia, which offers a new city sprint track and evening competition, which will add a little extra nerve and atmosphere,” says National Team Manager Anders Byström and continues:

“It will be a little extra exciting to follow Maja Dahlqvist and Johanna Hagström who, together with Nadine Fähndrich and Tiril Udnes Weng, are in the top battle for the overall sprint cup. It’s also fun that Moa Ilar is in the squad after an impressive performance in Falun.”

Tuesday’s sprint is also a test for waxing, where all nation’s skis will be prepared with the same products.

“There was no room for trailers in Tallinn, and therefore they are trying the idea that a manufacturer is testing out products to be used by all teams. It will be interesting to see how it will work and be experienced,” says Anders Byström.
