- There are some parts that affect narrow skis, ie length and biathlon.
There we do not perform in line with capacity, said Peter Reinebo, operations manager at the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOK), to SVT Sport in an interview two weeks ago.
He was thus critical of the Swedish effort in two of the country's foremost sports, despite the fact that the Olympics ended with Sweden's best medal harvest ever, with a total of 18 medals.
The cross-country skiers and biathletes took eight of these medals.
"Not weird"
Now, in a TT interview, the Swedish Ski Association's length manager Lars Öberg responds to the criticism.
- It's not strange.
We must be open-minded and be prepared to be seen from all sides.
Also from a partner like SOK.
No wonder he can have opinions on this.
But we can also come to different conclusions in the evaluation.
It is not strange, says Öberg to TT.
High altitude shock
In the SVT interview, Reinebo highlighted, among other things, the shock the younger riders seemed to get from the high altitude.
Lars Öberg thinks it is good when the criticism is concrete.
- It's just refreshing and good that we are being challenged.
If there are good and constructive views on what we can do even better, I'm just happy that it comes to the surface.
If you do not get positive feedback, you can also not screw on the right screws to make it even better for the next Olympics or World Cup.
