Although Frida Karlsson has not been able to compete so much this season, the idea is that she will run too full at the World Cup, which will start in a week.
Her plan is to participate in all distances.
– Right now it is not even in my thought paths to stand over any race, she tells SVT Sport.
It has been a different season for Frida Karlsson25. She has only been able to participate in a fraction of the World Cup competitions due to a foot injury that she sustained a few weeks before the premiere. Therefore, she has been given priority what to do. Often there has been recovery and training. She was completely over the Tour de Ski and SM.
Frida has loaded at high altitude
The last time she competed was during the World Cup weekend in French Les Rousses, when she won the 20-kilometer race (classic) in superior style. Frida went in goal one and a half minutes before the second. In fact, she won two (even in Ruka, 10 km classic) of the five races she has set up this season.

After the win in Les Rousses, Frida and her team decided that she would not compete for anything more until the World Cup in Trondheim. She has been over three World Cup weekends since then. In recent weeks she has been to high -altitude camps in Italian Lavazé, to prepare for the championship.
– It feels good, I think. Now it is full focus to file on the shape and make the last fine grinding. Then I want to join and fight for the gold in Trondheim, she tells SVT Sport at a digital press conference.
Frida Karlsson decision on the World Cup race
Frida Karlsson has a plan for the World Cup, it is to compete as much as possible. It was her personal trainer Per Larsson Inside already a few weeks ago.
– I think Frida is ready if she is healthy and whole that she can handle the entire load on the longer races. Sprint is not relevant this year, neither team sprint nor the freestyle. She has not driven so much and the others are so incredibly strong girls, he told SVT Sport in early February.
– I hope I’m whole enough to run all the distances. That’s my goal picture, Frida says at the new press conference.
