Oberhof, Germany, is the place for the next stage of this year’s cross-country skiing World Cup. As a new World Cup organizer, Oberhof World Cup starts on Friday, January 19, with a sprint race in classic technique, followed by a 20km mass start race in classic technique on Saturday, January 20, and a 4×7.5km relay race in classic/freestyle techniques on Sunday, January 21, 2024.

In a press release, the Swedish Ski Association has named their cross-country ski team for the upcoming World Cup in Oberhof. In the Swedish squad, there is a comeback in the World Cup for Oskar Svensson, Moa Lundgren, Ebba Andersson and Marcus Grate.

“After a week off after the Tour de Ski, we long to compete again. Ebba Andersson is back after not finishing the Tour (de Ski) and Marcus Grate is making a comeback after his injury that he sustained in Östersund. We are going with a really strong team and feel energized,” says Swedish national team manager Anders Byström, and adds:

“Oberhof is a new place for many and that gives extra motivation to compete on new courses. We know that they fought hard with the snow and have been told that the conditions should be good after the weather turned colder,” says Byström.

For the relay races on Sunday, the team will be selected after Saturday’s distance races.
