We reported earlier this fall that the winner of the sprint competition Anton Karlsson, Lager 157 Ski Team, had to retire from active training due to his back problems (herniated disk). At that time, he was unsure when to return to skiing, and he started an extensive rehab program. Rumor has it now that the sprint king has recovered extremely well and he is already skiing on snow. We don't know yet when he returns to racing, but it seems that it's not that far away. Good luck for Anton and stay tuned for more updates!
