Charlotte Kalla is one of Swedish skiing’s greatest ever.
Now the 35-year-old opens up if there could be a possible comeback.
– You should never close any doors, but…, she says in an interview with Sportbibeln.
There are few Swedish skiers in the 21st century who can measure up Charlotte Kallas tremendous success over the years. With three Olympic gold medals, three WC gold medals, a whopping 37 SM gold medals and a total of 22 major championship medals, the Swedish skiing hero has won most things that can be won.
Called career
In 2022, the successful skiing career came to an end for Kalla, and although the last years were medal-less, the Swedish star skier was able to sum up an incredible track record and be recognized as one of our greatest cross-country skiers ever. But the big question is whether the 35-year-old has done his best on the ski slopes or not?

Several cross-country skiers have turned to cross-country and Ski Classics after their active careers and many have done so with success. Both Norwegian superstars Marit Björgen and Peter Northug has made a comeback again and Swedish Anna Jönsson The Hague have now done two seasons of long distance running.

Now she herself gives notice of a possible comeback and admits her feelings about a possible venture into long-distance running.
– Nothing that is included in the plans. But you should never close any doors, says Kalla to Sportbibeln in connection with a press meeting for the dance program.
But long runs and comebacks are not something that is relevant?
– No, Charlotte answers clearly before her dance partner fills in.
– Well said anyway, that you shouldn’t close any doors, says the TV4 profile Tobias Karlsson.
– No, but you shouldn’t do that, Kalla then says again.
