Can the Swedish stars write the next chapter in their success story, after the success at the World Cup in the Czech Republic?
Here, SVT expert Mats Troeng lists the "goodies" to keep track of ahead of the World Cup competitions at Idre Fjäll, which will be decided on 12-15 August.
1. The terrain
The barren coniferous forest just below the tree line on the slopes of Nipfjället and Städjan has a thin layer of lichens, mosses and rice at ground level.
Visibility is good between the sparsely standing pines and spruces.
The easy-to-run terrain invites high speed, but beware - the slopes are steep and areas with lots of map details make navigation challenging.
2. Tove
After a full pot at the European Championships and the World Cup, Tove Alexandersson continues the quest to become the first orienteer to win all World Cup races in one and the same season.
The terrain at home in Dalarna suits her perfectly.
Has been forced to stop training due to covid-19 during charging.
What has it meant for the monster form from the World Cup?
3. Kasper
There are many indications that Kasper Fosser is on his way to becoming dominant in men's orienteering.
The young Norwegian has radiated a natural and obvious pondus throughout the season.
The guest appearance at the U23 WC in mountain running recently resulted in a gold and a silver.
If now anyone doubted, it emphasizes that the physical form is at its peak.
4. The Swedish challengers
In the World Cup, each nation has to compete with more participants than in the international championships.
Trust that many in the nine ladies and eleven men's large Swedish squad want to show themselves at home.
Some names among many to keep track of: Martin Regborn is back after injury, Viktor Svensk makes his senior national team debut, Lisa Risby wants to ride on the wave of success, and Hanna Lundberg is looking for revenge after the stamping of mistakes at the World Cup.
5. The relays
Up to three teams per nation can start in both the women's and men's relays. This guarantees frequent and uncertain competitions where the good visibility in the terrain makes it difficult to get away.
