Normally, the national team goes to France and Mont Blanc at the end of August for training camps for the coming season.

But not this year.

After a training week in Värmland's Torsby, there will now be an announcement about what the continued recharging will look like. And there will be camps at home due to the corona pandemic.

"Given the world situation and the pandemic that continues to grow in many countries, we believe together with the medical team's knowledge and experience, that we will take our responsibility and stay in Sweden during the autumn," says national team manager Anders Byström in a press release.

- The risks of traveling to France / Italy this autumn are considered too great compared to the profits. This applies, for example, to increased spread of infection, the risk of becoming ill with Covid-19, ending up in quarantine situations or situations where we cannot travel home as we wish, he continues.

The closest to the program are the roller ski competitions and the Alliance Race Action Week in Trolllhättan on 24 August (which is broadcast on SVT), and then a new camp in Torsby awaits before the next camp takes place in Sollefteå in September.
