After a standout Season XVI in the Ski Classics Pro Tour, Louise Lindström will remain with Team Eksjöhus for the upcoming winter.
The Swedish Pro Team athlete, who made her full transition to long-distance skiing last year, impressed in her first full season on the Pro Tour circuit. Lindström won the Youth competition and secured sixth place in the Champion competition, contributing to Team Eksjöhus’ overall victory in the Pro Team competition.
“It feels really good to continue with the team for the coming season. I feel very comfortable in the group and look forward to continuing to develop with my strong teammates,” Louise Lindström said in a team statement on social media.
Lindström joined Team Eksjöhus full-time ahead of Season XVI after a successful career in traditional cross-country skiing, which included a Junior World Championship gold in sprint and multiple U23 World Championship medals.
