In the hunting start in Ruhpolding last weekend, Johanna Skottheim struck with the course of her life and became four in the chase.
That led to a World Cup place.
Today, national team manager Anders Byström took out the squad for the championship which will take place in the Italian Antholz February 12-23. It is thus clear that veteran Elisabeth Högberg, 33, is petitioned. She got the chance in the World Cup last weekend, but only finished 34th on the sprint last Friday.
- We have had tough competition for the last places, right up to the last World Cup weekend in Pokukkeka. Johanna Skottheim and Anna Magnusson have performed really well this past month and are really worth the chance in the World Cup squad, says national team manager Anders Byström in a press release.
The national team travels to the charging camp in Italian Ridnaun on Sunday, February 2 and stays there a week before the team goes to the World Cup resort.
