This weekend, the World Cup continues with competitions in Falun.

The riders must be tested for covid-19 in connection with the competitions and several skiers are now criticizing that they carried out the quick tests, where they had to drive up a stick in the nose, on their own.

- I did not expect to do it myself, says Ebba Andersson according to NRK.

- It was a bit mixed feelings.

You are used to sitting on the chair and suffering through the stick in your nose.

It was a new experience and it was just trying to do it as best you could, she continues.

When asked if it is reprehensible or unserious to have to do it yourself, Andersson answers:

- Of course.

It feels like it could have been done in more controlled ways.

I'm honest to say.

Calle Halfvarsson is not impressed either.

- It is a bit special that everyone has to do it themselves.

It's a bit "do the best you can", says the Swede and continues:

- It feels a bit unserious in these times, when everything else should be so serious with masks and everything, and then you have to do a test and it is not done completely correctly.

They do the best they can, but it was a little special.

Ulrika Back Eriksson, CEO of Svenska skidspelen, comments on the testing for Aftonbladet:

- If the sticks are not driven up far enough in almost, it gives an invalid result.

So the tests are secured in this way, she tells the newspaper, and believes that the riders do not have to worry.
