The Swedish premiere in Idre gave mixed results for Stina Nilsson.
23rd place and weak riding on Saturday was followed by a 12th place on Sunday.
Although the shooter left a lot to be desired, the ride was impressive on Sunday's short distance.
Nilsson had the very best riding time, but missed too much to fight for the Swedish Championship medals.
Now it is a matter of being selected in the World Cup (which starts in two weeks).
Once there, it's about showing class - if there is to be a place for the Olympics in February.
Raising the squad will be a difficult task.
- There are some obvious skiers with sisters Öberg and Linn Persson, but then it's a wasp nest.
I'm not jealous of that task, says Ekholm.
Do you see it as if she is just outside an Olympic squad as it looks today?
- I would say shortly, just outside.
It will be tough, Ekholm continues.
