“They removed the distance I would have bet on.”
There may be no Olympics in 2026 by Tove Alexanderson. The steering star tells us that plans have now been put on hold.
– They removed the distance I would have really invested in, she says.
Opened last spring toph alexanderson To bet on the Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina in 2026. This means fewer directing competitions and more figure skating, which in 2026 will be in the Olympic program for the first time.
– I think so. In the past few years, that will be the main focus, I told TT at the time.
Now everything has changed, and the investment may not pay off at all.
– They changed the program at the Olympics so it’s no longer attractive. They removed the distance I would have really invested in. And that announcement came last summer, so we’ll see how it turns out, says the 30-year-old.
Receive SOK . support
Alexanderson is the best at most of the things she does. So far, she has won WC gold in four different sports; Snowboarding (17), snowboarding (10), snowboarding (1) and sky running (1) – and in November you will compete in the World Trail Running Championships in Thailand.
So it is no wonder that the Swedish Olympic Committee wants to help if it is betting on the Olympic Games.
– If I decide to make an Olympic bet, I’ll get support from SOK, she says.
With the World Cup Climbing competition leaving this fall, you don’t know when its next season (ski mountaineering) will begin.
“For now, the focus is on running and steering, so I’ll see when I get up on the snow for the first time,” she says.
“good rep”
The World Cup final begins in Davos, Switzerland, on Saturday. Alexanderson leads the World Cup with 90 points. However, the victory gives 100 points, so the Swedish star can not relax.
– When I get there, the focus will be on competitions and doing the biggest race possible.
However, she is not sad that the competition season is over. Then you wait for what Alexanderson loves most: training.
– It would be interesting to have more training now, she says and explains that the national team goes to a training camp as soon as the competitions in Davos are over.
— He’ll be a good rep for the restroom next year, says Alexanderson.
