In the resort & agrave; Slovenia will take place a Sprint and a Team Sprint, both in freestyle. The greatest hopes of the Scandinavian country are pinned in the women, where they currently have seven girls in the top thirty ranking specialty & agrave; with Stina Nilsson and IDA INGEMARSDOTTER able to go up more & ugrave; times on the podium in the season. Turn off instead for Charlotte Kalla, who gives way to more colleagues & ugrave; suited to this format. In the men he sees Calle Halfvarsson & nbsp; (pictured), blocked by injury problems which have affected the first half of the season. On him spent a few words the head coach Rickard Grip: & ldquo; you & Calle egrave; trained in Falun and the physicist responded positively. We have no big expectations of him, but & egrave; nice to have him back on the team & rdquo ;. There will be no & agrave; instead Emil J & ouml; nsson, you & egrave; withdrawn during the Tour de Ski and that has not completely disposed of fatigue. Throughout the game the Swedes will be 12 in Planica, 6 men and 6 women. This l & rsquo; list. Women Hanna Falk Linn S & ouml; mskar Jonna Sundling Maja Dahlqvist IDA INGEMARSDOTTER Stina Nilsson Men Johan Edin Calle Halfvarsson Anton Lindblad Gustav Nordstr & ouml; m Teodor Peterson Erik Silfversten & Nbsp; & Nbsp;
