The 36-year old native of Skultuna had hung the skis on the nail at the end of last season, culminating with the medal d & rsquo; won gold in the 15 km free technique of World Falun. During 2015-16 his new goal was the long distance races, in particular the Vasaloppet, but his dreams of glory went up in smoke due to several ailments that, as usual, hit him during the & rsquo; winter. These are the words of Olsson: & ldquo; In this season I realized that I still have a lot of motivation and I'm eager to return to racing. Sar & agrave; fun train for an ambitious goal as the World Lahti & rdquo ;. The Olympic champion of 15 km does not close the door to a possible participation in the Pyeongchang Games: & ldquo; I do not exclude to arrive until the Olympics & rdquo; his laconic comment about it. Sweden, back from his worst season ever, finds cos & igrave; a man who in the last five main event brought a dowry of something like 4 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze in individual and relay tests despite a particular predisposition to the illness that has undermined the performance at the level of the World Cup. & Nbsp; & Nbsp;
