Swedish team for Tour de Ski 2023/2024
Now in its 18th edition, the Tour de Ski consists of seven competitions over nine days in three different locations and two countries, and it’s the fifth stage of the 2023/2024 cross-country skiing World Cup.
The event starts on Saturday, December 30, 2023, with a sprint in freestyle technique in Toblach, Italy, and ends on January 7, 2024, with a 10km Final Climb in freestyle technique in Val di Fiemme, Italy. See below the complete program for Tour de Ski 2023/2024.
In a press release, the Swedish Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming Tour de Ski. Sweden will start with 19 athletes. On the women’s side, Sweden will start with 10 skiers. Already on the men’s side, 9 athletes will start for the Scandinavian country.
According to the press release, “The time has finally come for the Tour de Ski, which is always a highlight for the whole team. We have evaluated the first World Cup period and believe that we have selected a squad that can perform both in distance races and sprints but also fight for the overall victory in the Tour de Ski. It’s no secret that we want to stand on top of Alpe Cermis and celebrate a victory, but the road to get there is long, and it requires hard work from the entire team every day,” says national team manager Anders Byström and adds:
“The basic quota for Sweden is six skiers of each gender, but we also have three men in the top 20 in the sprint cup and more than four women. Which means that we get to start with 19 skiers in this year’s Tour de Ski – ten women and nine men,” says Anders Byström.
