Lowegren
I read a Swedish newspaper article about Fredrik Lowegren today. Lowegren was the top Swede in the 2001 WOC classic race (5th, I think) and spent some time at the top of the IOF rankings. Injuries kept him out of it all of last year.
Lowegren was picked for the Swedish "B" national team. Since I'm interested in motivation, I thought it was interesting that he commented on that in the newspaper interview:
"I thought I'd keep my place [on the "A" team] despite everything. But now what I need to do is show what I can do when I'm healthy....I will run the WOC in Vaesteraas."
The article makes it sound like he's motivated and working hard. But, he's also not yet fully recovered. He can only run three times a week. So he's spending a lot of time with rehab, riding a cycle trainer and training in a swimming pool.
The original newspaper article is here.
