The resort of Jämtland county a lot of snow has fallen in the last few days: "It seems to ski in a postcard," said the head coach of the team, Rikard Grip.
The latter were satisfied with the summer and autumn preparation, adding that the final approach phase will be devoted to "technical aspects of skiing."
A similar optimism shines through the words of Johan Granath, head coach of women's team: "The preparation was characterized by the maximum cohesion. All the girls have tried to benefit from the comparison with her companions and to give them something in return. The bulk of the work has now been carried out. Now, to enter the atmosphere of the race, we will conduct training sessions that will look like competition ".
