Alvar Myhlback takker nei til reserveplass i OLs 50 km

Den 19 år gamle langrennsløperen Alvar Myhlback har takket nei til tilbud om å være reserve i herrenes 50 km i OL. Han forlot lekene sist uke og fokuserer nå på Vasaloppet. Landslagssjef Anders Byström bekrefter at de har snakket med ham.

Herrenes 50 km i OL går av stabelen uten det unge talanget Alvar Myhlback. Den 19 år gamle langrennsløperen takket nei til landslagets tilbud om å være reserve før lørdagens avsluttende distanseløp. Myhlback forlot OL sist uke, men ledelsen sjekket likevel om han ville returnere til øvelsen.  nn«Vi har snakket med Alvar, ja. Men han er i full Vasaloppsmodus,» sier landslagssjef Anders Byström. Dette indikerer at Myhlback prioriterer forberedelsene til det klassiske svenske langdistanserennet Vasaloppet fremfor en potensiell reserveplass i OL.  nnMyhlback beskrives som et stort talent i langrenn, og beslutningen hans understreker den knappe tidsplanen for eliteløpere i sesongen. Den olympiske 50 km er et av høydepunktene i langrennsprogrammet, men den vil gå uten Myhlback.
