In May, the first six names were selected for the Olympic Games, which will take place in February next year.

Frida Karlsson, Linn Svahn, Ebba Andersson, Jonna Sundling, Jens Burman and Oskar Svensson.

Remarkably, Svahn will miss the championship due to injury.

And now SOK has taken more skiers to the Olympics.

Maja Dahlqvist is one of the selected.

The 27-year-old has had an impressive start to the season where she has four straight World Cup victories in sprint.

In addition, she won, together with Sundling, in the Dresden sprint relay as late as last Sunday.

In addition to Dahlqvist, Moa Olsson, Emma Ribom, Marcus Grate, Johan Häggström, Leo Johansson, Anton Persson, William Poromaa have also been selected.

- We have an extreme women's team and it is not easy to get into that group, says Byström.

13 cross-country skiers are thus ready for the Olympics.

The experienced Calle Halfvarsson and Charlotte Kalla have not yet got a place.

Anna Dyvik and Johanna Hagström are not included either.

- It is not certain that we use all eight places for both sexes, says SOK's operations manager Peter Reinebo at today's press conference.

In total, it is possible to take out eight ladies and eight men.
