Two more female Pro Team athletes will reinforce the Finnish Team Edux for the upcoming season. The Swedish athlete has competed for the Pro Team for two years, and the Finnish skier raced at the season-opening weekend last winter.
A week ago, ProXCskiing.com published that Maja Årebäck will compete in Ski Classics for the Finnish Team Edux in the upcoming winter.
Årebäck will be joined by another Swede, Sofia Lindberg, who will enter her third season with the Pro Team. Her best result last season was a twelfth place at Engadin La Diagonela.
“Sofia Lindberg has become the team’s mother figure during the last two winters. Sofia likes really long races and is chasing the top 10 ranking in the series next season,” writes Team Edux on their Instagram.

“When I went with the team to competitions one-weekend last winter, I immediately felt that I wanted to do this again. Therefore, it feels super fun to now get the opportunity to test long-distance for real with Team Edux. I’m looking forward to this new challenge!” says Wilma on the Pro Team’s Instagram.

Stepping Up the Game
Olli Tyrväinen, Team Edux Pro Team Director and athlete was interviewed by Maastohiihto.com earlier this spring. He firmly believes that his team is ready to step up its game this winter.
“The athletes have their own personal goals, and each one will focus on them according to their starting points. The number of camps will continue to increase. Last season, we had five camps, and now, there will be at least seven. We are investing a lot in training camps. We might have a final camp at a high altitude abroad before the start of the season, but mainly, we will be at home. The conditions here are right, so it doesn’t depend on that.”
