Sweden Announces 2019-20 National Team

After a World Championships at home, there will be 27 women and 20 men who will represent the Swedish Alpine National Team in the 2019-20 season. Some familiar names are already at the top, but also some new faces that look forward to taking further steps in their development. The selected squad gives the Swedes strong opportunities for achieving results while building for the future, says the alpine boss Tommy Eliasson Winter.

“An exciting squad in which I look forward to seeing how the girls can take the additional step in the 2019-20 season,” said Women’s Head Coach Lars Melin. “In the World Cup last year there were many who showed their speed and I hope that we can continue to develop in that direction so that additional skiers can establish themselves in the absolute top. In the European Cup and not least Junior World Championships, we had great success last year and it is a strong generation of skiers in the talent tube that we look forward with excitement to how they will develop.”

“In the coming season, we want to focus the competition in the men’s team, a targeted investment to really make an effort to make the most of the generation shift we are in,” added Men’s Head Coach Fredrik Kingstad. “It feels extremely inspiring that Andre Myhrer and Matts Olsson will continue their efforts, both because they are riders in the absolute top layer, but also as two natural leaders and inspirations on the technology side. On the junior side, it is a wonderful print in the system where we saw great progress both at the individual level and as a group as a whole during last year and it will be exciting to follow that development. We are really looking forward to the coming season.”
