Swedish skiing star Frida Karlsson had previously said that he would not participate in the Davos World Cup this weekend. Now SVT tellsthat Karlsson may have to miss the Tour de Ski as well.
Karlsson previously suffered from a stress injury in his leg. It still works.
– It gets strained when he skis at full speed in competitions. He must be careful now. The World Cup is the main goal and we don’t want to risk anything, Karlsson’s coach Per Nilsson quoth.
Karlsson showed that he is in top shape by overwhelmingly winning the opening race of the World Cup in Ruka.
– He had feelings after only one race in the first weekend and the second weekend of the season. Seven races on the Tour can be a risk. But that decision will be made later, Nilsson stated.
The Swedes don’t ski in Davos either Ebba Andersson, Linn Svahn, Maja Dahlqvist and Calle Halfvarsson.
