TOBLACH. Linn Svahn finished ninth in the distance race.
But a yellow card appeared after her name in the results list.
– I have to go and talk about it now. I don’t know what it is, says a surprised Svahn.
Two yellow cards can put serious problems in the wheels for a skater. This can result in both washing or a three-minute time extension.
Therefore, Linn Svahn was keen to get an overview of the situation. Because after today’s distance race over 10 kilometers classic in the Tour de Ski, a yellow card appeared next to her name in the results list.
Something that surprised her when she came to Sportbladet’s television interview.
Svahn knew nothing
– Huh? Do I have a yellow card? says Svahn.
– Yes, I’ll have to look into that.
You don’t know yourself when you got it?
– No, I have to ask that directly.
Svahn then hurried through the mixed zone as she wanted to check out the reason for the card.
Now she also has to be extra careful during the rest of the tour.
– You have to be extra vigilant, but I just want to know where I got it!

The reason
Women’s coach Stefan Thomson then came up with the explanation. Svahn had taken a skate cut about four kilometers into the race.
– We got it now. It’s pretty clear, says Thomson, showing a clip on his mobile phone.
Linn Svahn is not alone in having a yellow card in the Swedish team. Frida Karlsson and Emma Ribom are also warned.
