The big question was who would get to ride the fourth leg: Maja Dahlqvist or Jonna Sundling.
Or possibly, possibly Linn Svahn.
The choice was therefore Dahlqvist.
- We have chosen Maja because she is in good shape, and she really wants this stretch, said national team manager Anders Byström when he introduced the team.
"A part that outweighed"
Women's coach Stefan Thomson said it was a tough decision.
- Based on what we saw at the distance race (10 km yesterday), she herself (Sundling) became a little doubtful about the distance form.
We had expected a slightly stronger distance race, on her best days she is a medal candidate in the 10 km skate, and in retrospect the body didn't feel quite as it should, he said, and added:
- There were some who weighed in so that it was Maja instead.
Udnes Weng starts for Norway
Jonna Sundling, who won the sprint, finished 21st in yesterday's 10 km race.
Norway's team was also presented on Wednesday afternoon, and looks like this:
1. Tiril Udnes Weng
2. Astrid Öyre Slind
3. Ingvild Flugstad Östberg
4. Anne Kjersti Kalvå
