In a press release, the Swedish Ski Association confirmed the national team selection for Falun.

“Falun always means something extra to us. Getting to compete in front of a Swedish audience gives us energy, and we look forward to inviting you back with offensive skiing,” says national team manager Anders Byström, and adds:
