It was the case that shook the pre-weekend restart of the Women's World Cup, with the positivity of the manager in charge Christian Thoma who kept the entire team out of the slalom opening games. Swedish consisting of eight elements.
A blow for Anna Swenn-Larsson and teammates who, at least, are now seeing the light again: as already requested in the first half by the staff of the Scandinavian national team, the transfer of the team from Finland to Sweden was already granted yesterday, to complete the planned isolation (7 days according to Finnish law) having had contact with Thoma, of course, and although all the tests carried out on the eight athletes were negative.
The girls are now in Storklinten and, with the change in the anti-Covid rules from one country to another, they will at least have the "chance to take a walk, while avoiding any kind of contact with other people"; Tommy Eliasson Winter, the director of alpine skiing in Sweden, explained on the federal website. The next step will be a new PCR test to allow each team member to return home, with the next team training camp postponed by a few days, compared to the original programs at the beginning of December.
“On Monday we will formalize the formations, female and male, for the parallels of Lech / Zuers. After what happened we will know how to start again ”, said Lars Melin, immediately ended up in isolation as he himself had traveled with Thoma to get to Levi last Wednesday. It is certain, however, that Swenn-Larsson (who would have been among the big favorites also for this test in Vorarlberg) and the slalom companions will not be there for the race on 26 November, having to wait until the end of December, for next CdM slalom in Semmering, before returning to the race, even if some of them may already be there for the giants of Courchevel on 12-13 next month.
