Drammen, Norway, is the place for this Tuesday’s cross-country skiing World Cup with a sprint in classic technique on March 14. 

In a press release, the Swedish Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming World Cup in Drammen. Sweden will start with 13 athletes. On the women’s side, Sweden will begin with seven skiers. Already on the men’s side, six athletes will start for the Scandinavian country. 

Emma Ribom was on the preliminary sprint team but has withdrawn due to being ill, and it is uncertain whether Frida Karlsson will start, as she withdrew from the Holmenkollen 50km due to cold symptoms.

*Update – The Swedish Ski Association informed that Frida Karlsson is still not ready to compete after training in the morning. She is now going home from Norway to prepare for the competitions in Falun, Sweden.
