Ebba Årsjö Misses 2025 Alpine Para World Cup Premiere Due to Illness

Ebba Årsjö, Sweden's leading alpine para-athlete, will miss the opening event of the 2025 Alpine Para World Cup in Steinach, Austria, due to illness, according to the Swedish Parasportförbundet. This development means that the Swedish team at the premiere will consist solely of Aaron Lindström and Arvid Skoglund.

Despite Årsjö's absence, both she and Lindström have already been selected to represent Sweden at the upcoming Paralympics in Italy, scheduled for March 2026. The illness is an unexpected setback for Årsjö ahead of the competitive season but does not affect her place on the Paralympic team.

Aaron Lindström and Arvid Skoglund will now carry the Swedish hopes at the world cup premiere, stepping into a larger role in Steinach. The world cup event marks an important stage ahead of the Paralympics, where Sweden is set to have strong representation.

The Swedish Parasportförbundet confirmed the details surrounding Årsjö's illness and subsequent withdrawal from the competition. Both articles from Expressen and Aftonbladet emphasize the impact of her absence but highlight the continued confidence in her and Lindström's Paralympic ambitions.
