This weekend, ladies will ride five kilometers in the World Cup for the first time as there are competitions in Holmenkollen.

It will be the first competitions after the successful WC in Planica.

- After a record WC, it will be a quick push and directly to the legendary competitions in Holmenkollen.

We hope to be able to continue what we built up during the WC and it will be extra exciting to defend the Swedish colors on Norwegian soil, says national team manager Anders Byström.

Calle Halfvarsson and Linn Svahn are among those standing over the five-mile mark to focus on the sprint.

The sprint squad includes all three who won WC medals, Jonna Sundling, Emma Ribom and Maja Dahlqvist.

Moa Lundgren has received a place because she was overall winner in the Scandinavian Cup this weekend and thus got a free place.
