Frida Karlsson had a fond reunion in Beitostölen.
When Norwegian ski queen Therese Johaug appeared as a reporter.
But the Swede is also embarrassed and bursts into a huge giggle when she is asked questions about the meeting with the Norwegian.
There were double podium places for Frida Karlsson in the Norwegian Beitostölen during the weekend. Which means that the Swede has had an absolutely brilliant start to the season and is second in the overall World Cup standings.

But alongside the sporting side, the 23-year-old also had a fond reunion in Norway. When the Norwegian ski queen Therese Johaug suddenly appeared in a completely new role during the World Cup.

Frida Karlsson was then asked what it was like to be interviewed by a former rival. And of course it was special.
– It was good. But it felt like we were talking as usual, it was a bit silly like that, she says in the interview.
Frida embarrassed
But it also became a little embarrassing when Therese Johaug’s well-known book came up. Karlsson got it as a present from the Norwegian and jokingly said that she would keep it in the toilet as a “dassbook”.

However, she did not want to bring that up with the Norwegian, and Frida was therefore embarrassed and burst into a big giggle when Dagbladet asked about Johaug’s book.
– Well, I didn’t talk about that part in particular. We save it, haha, says a laughing Frida Karlsson in the TV interview.
