In May, it was announced that Linn Svahn - and later also Frida Karlsson and Maja Dahlqvist - would break away from the Swedish national cross-country team in order to invest in their own auspices instead.
Even in Norway, there are stars who do not go with the national team during the entire pre-season.
Johannes Hösflot Kläbo is currently on an almost month-long high-altitude camp in the USA, while the rest of the national sprint team is in Torsby, Sweden.
- The recipe for success is gathering the team.
It is clear that it is demanding if there is only one person who does their own thing and withdraws, while the rest of the team does their thing.
It will be difficult to utilize the qualities that Johannes has.
I advocate that you are a team.
You get together, train with each other and use each other's strengths, says Marit Björgen to the Norwegian newspaper VG.
