Before the World Cup sprint in Oberstdorf, the winter's dominant Linn Svahn was a given name for Sweden in a sprint relay, probably in a team with either Maja Dahlqvist or Jonna Sundling.

After the sprint, the situation is different.

Both Svahn and Dahlqvist failed and went out unexpectedly already in the semifinals.

At the same time, Jonna Sundling crushed all opposition and took the first World Cup gold of her career, while debutant Johanna Hagström went into an unexpected fourth place.

"We get to discuss"

Now the national team manager Anders Byström will try to decide which two will be allowed to run Sunday's sprint relay.

-It will certainly be difficult, Byström tells TT

He chooses to keep the cards very close to his body.

At the same time, he can not see past Jonna Sundling's brilliant World Cup form.

-Jonna is in top form, I am so happy that she finally got to win.

But we will discuss it tomorrow (Friday).

But it was not Jonna Sundling's last race in the WC in any case?

-No, I really hope not.

If she is in this form, we will use her even more

"Let's see how she feels"

The status of Linn Svahn can also be a decisive factor.

After the individual sprint, there was speculation as to whether she might have been hampered by her previous shoulder injury, which she suffered after a fall during Ulricehamn's World Cup competition a couple of weeks ago.

-It's not that far to the sprint relay, so we'll see how she feels.

But we know what she has done before and what she can do, says Anders Byström.

Maja Dahlqvist is really the real expert when it comes to sprint relays.

Until the second place in Ulricehamn recently (in pairs with Svahn), she had won all the sprint relays she competed in during several World Cup seasons in a row.

But after the initial World Cup sprint, she admits that she is worried about being left out of the team.

-Yes, I guess I am, says a depressed Dahlqvist.
