The seven names that complete the Swedish squad are the following: Kim Amb (javelin), Ragnar Carlsson (sledgehammer), Axelina Johansson (bullet), Lisa Gunnarsson (pole vault), Hanna Lindholm (marathon), Yolanda Ngarambe (1,500 meters), Hanna Hermansson (1,500 meters).
Happy news for some, for others not.
Lovisa Lindh, Michaela Meijer and Fabian Delryd are three who are not allowed to travel to the USA.
"I had hoped for greater trust", Lindh wrote about the World Cup match to Aftonbladet.
- Lovisa has received no.
It has been difficult to make that decision but I think she is too far from being in World Cup form, or too far away from finding it in the little time that is left, Bergqvist said about Lindh after the Diamond League gala at Stockholm Stadium.
About Meijer and Delryd, Bergqvist says in the press release:
"Michaela and Fabian are qualified for the ranking, but unfortunately they have not shown a high enough level to be selected for the World Cup.
But I know that all three are now clenching their fists in their pockets and aiming for the European Championships in August ”.
For the World Cup qualifiers, a publisher in the USA will soon be waiting before the championship starts on 15 July.
"I feel extremely satisfied with the squad we have.
We have a bunch of established world stars, but also many active people who are only at the beginning of their national team careers.
There is so much potential and 'go' in this gang and it feels really cool that it will soon be time ", says Bergqvist.
The World Athletics Championships in Eugene will be decided between 15 and 24 July.
