The sprintess has previously shown results in the World Cup in distance and came, among other things, tenth on the classic mile in Ruka last year.
A distance she also ran at the World Cup.
But this year there will be no chance to improve the result.
- I would have preferred to compete so I can probably run a little training race myself, she says to Aftonbladet about the decision that was made already yesterday (Thursday).
Coach Stefan Thomson explains the decision to the newspaper:
- Maja is a good distance skier we know that, but now we think we have strong results from other skiers.
