There has been a real star fall in tomorrow's historic five-mile race for ladies in the World Cup in Holmenkollen.

Sweden's two biggest stars, WC medalists Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson, will not start.

"Ebba Andersson and Frida Karlsson have had mild cold symptoms and will not start tomorrow.

Frida and Ebba have had a dialogue with national team doctor Rickard Noberius", they write in a press release.

The others in the Swedish women's squad are Moa Ilar, Lovisa Modig and Linn Sömskar.

Tomorrow's race is the first time the ladies race a five-mile in the World Cup.
