Andersson Leads Swedish Skiathlon Team at Milano Cortina

Ebba Andersson, a prominent figure in cross-country skiing, is set to lead the Swedish team at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina. Her primary goal is to secure her first Olympic gold medal in the 20km Skiathlon, a discipline where she has previously excelled at the world level.

Preparation for the Winter Games

Andersson has taken a unique approach in her training regimen. Rather than participating in the World Cup events, she opted for a more personal training strategy. Since January 4, she has been honing her skills at her parents’ home, training alongside her father.

Notable Achievements

The cross-country skier has an impressive record, including:

  • Six World Championship titles.
  • Three titles from the 2025 Nordic Ski World Championships in Trondheim, Norway.
  • Medals from the last two Winter Olympics, including silver and bronze in relay events.

Insights from Andersson

Reflecting on her journey, Andersson mentioned, “For the past two world championships, I’ve found a setup that I feel really comfortable with.” This statement highlights her confidence and familiarity with her current training approach, which stands in contrast to her earlier Olympic experiences.

As the Winter Games approach, all eyes will be on Andersson and her pursuit of Olympic gold in the Skiathlon, where she hopes to continue her successful legacy in cross-country skiing.
