But despite her ending her career, things have been busy lately.
Now she tells with honest words about what it was like in “Let’s Dance”.
When you think of Swedish skiing heroes through the ages, have Charlotte Kalla a very special place in the Swedish people’s home. She really broke through in 2008 when she became the first Swede to win the Tour de Ski.
Called success
After that, she has lined up successes over the years and the gold medals have been piled high. Last year, the 35-year-old decided to put an end to the successful career in cross-country skiing by hanging up the boots on the famous shelf.

For several weeks we have been able to follow Charlotte Kalla dancing in prime time and it ended with a second place in the Let’s Dance final which took place last weekend. Now she tells honestly about the upheaval time.
– It has contained so much more than I could have imagined. Emotions and above all mental challenges, the 35-year-old admits to Dagens Nyheter and is so proud of his effort.
– I stretched far outside my comfort zone with the dance, which is not what I felt most confident in before. But it was so cool now at the end to look back and see where I started, from being totally ignorant to actually being able to stand on a dance floor in front of an audience of millions and see that things have happened since March.
