Ski world champion Maja Dahlqvist29, suffers from agonizing uncertainty.
The Swedish star has been far from his top form this season. The body has been feeling abnormal since October 10th, but even the doctors have not been able to find out the reason.
– New tests have been done on me, and I have talked a lot with doctors. I have had many blood tests and heart examinations. Nothing was wrong, Dahlqvist says to Aftonbladet.
Dahlqvist was afraid that it might be a heart problem.
– I thought about it and googled a bit. It’s great that the matter was closed.
Qualifying
PASI LEISMA
Dahlqvist failed to qualify for the sprint in the first world cup of the season in Ruka. He said that he could not breathe normally and that his condition felt like lack of oxygen.
The Swede missed the first World Cup in December. Last week he skied seventh in the traditional sprint in Östersund.
– I was seventh in the World Cup with the worst body in the universe. If my body is normal, I can do really well on the track. I look forward to that day. I feel like there’s not much I can do about it.
Dahlqvist will compete next time on Friday at the World Cup in Trondheim. The program includes a sprint in freestyle skiing.
