On Saturday, the orienteering WC starts in the Czech Republic.

Individual sprint is the first competition on the program.

But Gustav Bergman, who came second at the European Championships in Switzerland last month, will not compete in the competition. 

- It is a choice we have made together in the team and with the national team captain in terms of the total load on the entire World Cup week and to use the runners we have in the best way.

It is a joint decision, says Gustav Bergman.

The Orienteering World Cup starts on Saturday 3 July and is broadcast on SVT.
