The team - especially in the male sector - will be required to redeem a winter far below expectations. "It will be interesting to review the work the athletes who struggled last season," said head coach Rikard Grip. "We believe we can make a team in confidence after the good preparation carried out and the outcome of the general Bruksvallarna evidence".
Grip flies low, however, when speaking of the goals for the Finnish races: "The season is just beginning, the most important thing is that you fight for the top positions. you must not be on the podium because performance is assessed positively ".
Swedes in a row will return Johan Olsson and Daniel Richardsson, veterans un''annata dedicated to long distances. The Bruksvallarna tests have provided two diametrically opposed answers: the first won the 15 km CT, the second finished 16th, a 2 'by compatriot.
"Johan has proved its value in Bruksvallarna," said Grip. "The start of the season, Daniel was not brilliant, but we know the athlete's value, which was therefore convened equally. We are happy to welcome back both teams. Thanks to them we can form the right mix of veterans and young people who can pungolarsi each other. "
