Setback for Edebo after the World Cup - not in training

Alexandra Edebo barely had time to recover from a concussion and took part in the World Cup. Once there, she crashed twice and it led to a setback. - Right now she is not in training. We take it day by day. She has gotten better, says national team doctor Jakob Swanberg to SVT Sport.


Just before Christmas, Alexandra Edebo suffered a concussion when she crashed into Val Thorens.

She still recovered for the home WC in Idre where she made it to the small final - but she fell both in training and in the small final.

- She felt okay then, but then we did an evaluation after that and you have to be extra careful so close to concussions.

We take no risks, says Swanberg.

Edebo is therefore not in place at the World Cup competition in Reiteralm, Austria.

- She had a few points too much on her symptom assessment (self-assessment).

So we chose to put her over now so as not to risk anything, says Swanberg and continues:

- There is no danger with her now, but you have to be a hundred to compete in this type of competition.

Sandra Näslund and David Mobärg are the only Swedes who have progressed from the qualifiers in Reiteralm.

They compete tomorrow, Friday.
