In Frida Karlsson's and Ebba Andersson's absence, the Norwegian Ragnhild Haga won as the ladies raced a five-mile race today for the first time in the World Cup.

The announcement that the Swedish stars would stand over the competition in Holmenkollen came on Saturday and already now the coach confirms that Karlsson can be back on Tuesday.

Karlsson is the best Swede in the overall World Cup as she is fifth.

To be able to climb there, it is good that she can ride the sprint on Tuesday.

She was the only Swede to plan to ride both the five-mile and the sprint.

After Drammen, the World Cup continues to Falun and then ends in Tallinn and Lahtis.
