Four final places in the sprint and preliminary selections for the WC already in December.

Edvin Anger himself describes his first season in the World Cup as "beyond expectations".

- If I get what I have on the day and give myself the chance, then I know that I can still stand on the podium.

It's nothing I need to be secretive about.

I have shown that and everyone also believes that I can do it.

It would have been sick fun to make this happen at the WC.

Anger has competed in seven sprint qualifiers this World Cup season, advancing from all of them.

And when it came time to choose the quarter-final, the 20-year-old, pretty much every time, chose heat number one - the same as Johannes Hösflot Kläbo.

- I have always strived to be better and the best, then it is not possible to check on others and give space to others, then you have to try to take the place yourself.

Just because his name is Johannes Hösflot Kläbo and he's the best in the world, I'm not going to change, I'll keep doing what I've always done
