The Swedish skiing star has suffered from an overload in the soft parts of the left foot. Therefore, she has to rearrange the entire planning for the upcoming cross-country season.
Big worries for Frida
The SVT expert Anders Blomquist now gives his harsh verdict on Frida Karlsson after the tough setback.
– I don’t think she will reach her full potential this season, he says to SVT.
– Since she has been injured for a long period, I don’t think she can see the benefits. The good thing is that she maintains the oxygen uptake and heart activity, but she cannot do the local training in the muscles and technique training, it will affect her.

Karlsson is not yet ready to go to snow training and there will be consequences for her efforts during the winter. Blomquist is now worried about the upcoming WC season and when she can actually go full speed again.
– It depends a little on how the preparations have been. There is no definitive limit but it is clear that skiing will affect how quickly she can reach her peak form. But time is getting a little tight for her anyway. At least for the first part of the World Cup, he says in the interview.
There is a risk that the World Ski Championships in March could be ruined by this.
– I think she is worried, says skiing expert Anders Blomquist to the TV channel.
– If she overcomes the problems and can start skiing fairly soon, she will not be affected very much. But if it goes on for a long time, the start of the season will be in danger and also the WC.
