Swedish sprint talents Emma Ribom and Marcus Grate will not be able to race the World Cup in Drammen on Thursday.

Sweden’s Marcus Grate has tested positive for Covid-19, and will miss the World Cup in Drammen on Thursday. 

It was after starting to feel unusually tired after the World Cup weekend in Lahti, Finland, that Grate decided to do a Covid rapid-test at home. The test came out positive. 

Accordingly, Grate will stay in Sweden for further testing and will miss the World Cup sprint in Drammen on Thursday. 

None of the other national team racers selected for the sprint in Drammen have tested positive, says Sweden’s team physician Jan Wall in a press release on Wednesday afternoon. However, the team is monitoring all the racers closely. 

Additionally, Emma Ribom will miss the World Cup sprint in Drammen. The 24-year-old, who just posted her first World Cup podium in a sprint race last weekend, has been in close proximity to Grate over the last few days. 

However, Ribom has not tested positive, and if she doesn’t test positive in the next couple of days, she could still travel to Oslo for the 30-kilometer at the World Cup in Holmenkollen on Saturday.
