Tove Alexandersson suffered from covid-19 in July.

A few weeks after she became historic in the World Cup with five golds in the same championship.

Alexandersson was back in the World Cup competitions in Idre in mid-August.

But then the form did not match the disease, and the 28-year-old broke the competitions in Idre.

She also abstained from the Swedish Championships at the end of August.

When the squad for the World Cup final in Italy today was taken out, Tove Alexandersson was back in the squad.

- I have had to start over the escalation and so far I have only trained calm sessions, says Tove Alexandersson in a press release.

Chasing the seventh straight overall victory

In addition to regaining symptoms in Idre, she also hit a knee that made her unable to train as usual in recent weeks.

Alexandersson is second in the overall world cup, 15 points behind the Swiss Simona Aebersold, and has a chance at the overall world cup victory where she has six straight victories since before.

The shooting star Hanna Lundberg, third in the total, has also been selected.

On the men's side, Gustav Bergman, reigning champion, is not with us due to family reasons.

The best Swede there is Emil Svensk in fifth place.

The competitions are decided 30/9 long distance, 2/10 medium distance, 3/10 sprint relay and broadcast on SVT.
