It was in Uliricehamn in February, two weeks before the Olympics in Oberstdorf, that Svahn crashed and hit his shoulder.

What no one knew then, maybe not even Svahn himself, was that the injury was so serious that she now misses the Olympics.

Svahn ran the World Cup at the same time as she did rehab for the injury.

New details about Svahn's shoulder injury: "Did rehab during the WC" Photo: SVT

The injury did not heal as it should, the rehab may have worsened the condition, and two months ago she had to have her shoulder operated on.

Immediately when she woke up after the operation, the shock message came.

- Immediately when I woke up I was told:

You will not go to the Olympics this winter".

I was probably not really aware that the message would be so obvious.

That there will definitely be no Olympics, says Linn Svahn to Expressen.

Darkened the message for two months

Svahn and the national team management have obscured the message for two months.

- Only my absolute closest.

I have not told it to more than was necessary, says Svahn about those who knew about the message.

Not even the other riders in the national team have known about it.

Svahn has given up the coming Olympic season but hopes first of all to be injury-free and perhaps compete in the absolute finals, perhaps at the Swedish Championships in Bruksvallarna in April.

She feels completely convinced that the shoulder will heal together now has the World Cup in Planica 2023 as her big goal.
