Choose now Frieda Carlsonand 22 and Maja Dalqvist28, to do the same.
When the Swedish national team meets in Falun tomorrow, the star duo will not be present.
“I think it is sad that Frida and Maja do not want to be part of the national team because we see that our national team model has really had a strong impact on the success,” height coach Lars Oberg said in a press release.
Reductions in Negotiations
Sportbladet was recently able to report that there had been a break in negotiations between the riders and the union and that many riders had refused to sign agreements.
The press release about Karlsson and Dahlqvist notes that because of this the star duo chose to opt out.
“Country skiing is an individual sport, but team building plays an important role in individual results and the return of the sport. The main task of the Ski Association is to create good conditions for as many as possible to reach their full potential. Today, the association has three senior training groups that support and challenge each other In camps and gatherings. Often those who are accepted into the national team team without or with a small commercial value that is built up over time with their own efforts and the support of the federation. The whole model is based on the desire to participate and willing to give the best and participate in the development of those who come from below”Union writes.
“knit as a team”
Lars Oberg again:
Our strength is that as a team we stick to each other and work together to achieve a specific goal and we are proud of that. We got where we are today because we have been consistent in our approach and have strong sponsors who, like us, fully believe in and support this approach. Even if the message is sad, it will give us opportunities to give others the opportunity to take the next step in their development. We have many talents ready for the challenge and if they have the opportunity to compete with the best and the right support, I am convinced that it will make us even stronger in the seasons to come. Our common goal is to do good things better and in a team it is always about inspiring and developing each other to be our best selves.
Sportbladet is looking for Lars Öberg’s mother and Frida Karlsson and manager Mia.
