Hanna Falk: "He is needed in a Swedish Olympic relay team"

Radiosporten expert Hanna Falk believes Truls Gisselman deserves serious consideration for an Olympic place after his strong Tour de Ski. Gisselman was the second-best Swede overall in the Tour, finishing 19th — an impressive sign of form for the 24-year-old who had a difficult start to the season and had not competed in the World Cup before Christmas.

Falk says Gisselman’s performance is a clear message to the Swedish selectors: he can contribute in a Swedish Olympic relay team. Radiosporten also highlights Anton Grahn as one of the big breakout names from the Tour. Gisselman himself calls Tokyo 2026 "the dream to go there" and says he hopes to be selected.

The report was filed from Val di Fiemme and includes commentary from Radiosporten staff Selma Jennervall and Isabell Gradin. The piece appears in the cross-country skiing section on Sveriges Radio’s website and refers to the upcoming Milano–Cortina 2026 Olympic programme.
