This winter, the longitude stars will have 41 competition days in nine countries.

This is an approach that has been criticized from several quarters during this corona fall, most recently by biathlon star Sebastian Samuelsson.

- I do not think they will be able to keep it and if they do, it feels irresponsible, if I am to be completely honest.

There, the IBU has been much, much smarter, he said a couple of days ago in an interview with the news agency TT.

"Can partially agree"

Now the critics are supported by last year's big shooting star in cross-country skiing Sweden: Linn Svahn.

- I have heard and seen everyone who has commented on Fi's decision to follow the original plan, and I can partly agree with the criticism.

Now we have had a great opportunity to try to change Fi's approach by being around a lot of different places in a very short time, and it will be a great load and a very large device to make it work, she says to SVT Sport, and continues:

- So I could have imagined seeing a different approach for better durability for the whole circus.

Have you thought about what it could have looked like?

- I believe that you should try to reduce travel, that you should be in a country for a longer period of time and run more "block competitions".
