As already known for some time the three cross-country skiers will miss the most representative, Marcus Hellner, Johan Olsson and Charlotte Kalla, who will continue their march towards the Olympics without the expenditure of energy which provides for the Tour de Ski. Also absent sprinters Teodor Peterson and Emil JÃ¶nsson.

The Olympic champion in the 10 km, which would have been one of the favorites for this year if he had taken part, has also won three stages, each edition that saw then triumph over Cermis. Among those who will be in Oberhof for the prologue stage successes have also Anna Haag (double tracking Oberstorf of January 3, 2011, the only win of his career) and Daniel Richardsson (10 km classic in Toblach on January 7, 2010). No final triumph instead in the male, in which the second position of Marcus Hellner of 2012 represents the best and the only podium result for Sweden.
