It was thought that 2020 would be the year when the first purely sprint World Cup was held. But it was postponed until 2022, which means that the plans for the 2021 World Cup will also change.
Sprint will be added to the World Cup in the Czech Republic next year, which would have been a purely forest World Cup. This is something that Swedish Confederation Captain Håkan Carlsson sees as something positive.
- A good decision. It would have been a long way between the World Cups in sprint otherwise, he says to the federation's website.
