Vésteinn Hafsteinsson is the coach for Daniel Ståhl, Fanny Roos and Simon Pettersson.

But they have to do without him at the World Cup in Eugene as he is on sick leave for six weeks.

- It is a great pity that Vésteinn can not be on this trip, but there are things that are much more important than athletics, says Kajsa Bergqvist.

The camp in Berkeley is currently underway and the former sledgehammer Mattias Jons is there as leader.

He will take greater responsibility as Hafsteinsson is missing.

The leader Åke Ruus will also receive an accreditation to help as a coach.
