Alvar Myhlback siger nej til reserveplads i OLs 50 km

Den 19-årige langrenløber Alvar Myhlback har takket nej til et tilbud om at være reserve i mændenes 50 km ved OL. Han forlod legene sidste uge og fokuserer nu på Vasaloppet. Landsholdschef Anders Byström bekræfter, at de har talt med ham.

Mændenes 50 km ved OL afvikles uden det unge talent Alvar Myhlback. Den 19-årige langrenløber afviste landsholdets tilbud om at være reserve inden lørdagens afsluttende distanceløb. Myhlback forlod OL sidste uge, men ledelsen tjekkede stadig, om han ville vende tilbage til øvelsen.  nn«Vi har talt med Alvar, ja. Men han er i fuld Vasalopps-tilstand,» siger landsholdschef Anders Byström. Det indikerer, at Myhlback prioriterer forberedelserne til det klassiske svenske langdistanceren Vasaloppet frem for en potentiel reserveplads ved OL.  nnMyhlback beskrives som et stort talent inden for langrend, og hans beslutning fremhæver den stramme tidsplan for eliteløbere i sæsonen. Det olympiske 50 km-løb er et af højdepunkterne i langrennsprogrammet, men det afvikles uden Myhlback.
