BEITOSTÖLEN (Nettavisen): – I don’t know what to say to that.
Frida Karlsson has just finished second in the season opener in the 10 kilometer race in Bruksvallarna in Sweden, and has just heard reports from the Norwegian cross country camp.
For a long time it was not sure if Karlsson would even ski before Christmas due to injury, but last week the shock twist became a reality.
Both Therese Johaug and Marit Bjørgen noted the quick return following questions from Nettavisen earlier this week.
Is the game on?
“Yes,” Bjørgen replied with a smile.
“No”, we are going to believe Frida Karlsson.

He wanted to keep it a secret
For Sweden, it means that she has always played with open cards about her own injury situation.
– I guess I can only say that I ended up in a situation I didn’t want. And after that I tried to make the best of the situation.
An injury to his leg has meant that Karlsson has had another training session in recent weeks on the Spanish holiday island of Tenerife.

Sweden is very clear that she did not exaggerate the situation of the injury, even if she was back much earlier than first expected.
– Ideally I wouldn’t have said anything about it, but there was a media day just then, and then it was impossible to escape, explained Karlsson.
On the other hand, she has had some self-irony about her own situation and appeared in a wheelchair earlier this week.

Johaug: – As expected
However, she has shown this weekend that she does not need a wheelchair, but has revealed that she is fit for next week’s World Cup opener.
On Saturday, only Ebba Andersson beat her in the 10 kilometer classic in Bruksvallarna.

Therese Johaug tells Nettavisen that everything seems to be as planned a week before the start of the World Cup.
– It was exactly as expected. It will be exciting when we all meet next week, says Johaug to Nettavisen.
