Cross-country skiing: Moa Lundgren sees the WC ahead of her as she recovers from the concussion

Hear Lundgren talk about how she mentally motivates herself to get healthy and be able to reach her goal – the WC – in the player above.

Moa Lundgren is making the investment on her own after choosing her own path outside the national team.

– The dream picture is to be in top form, that I go fast in Bruksvallarna and make it to the WC, says Lundgren about the start of the Swedish season, which is only two months away.

– I’ve had to test my own wings, great to be extremely responsible and it’s been a lot of fun.

She makes the investment together with her boyfriend Gustav Kvarnbrink, they train almost every day together and she has received very good sparring. In the best of all worlds, Kvarnbrink also takes the next step and they are selected for the WC together.

– It is the perfect target image when I sprinkle glitter and sequins over it so that it really shines, says Lundgren.

Got tips from Charlotte Kalla

The bet is made from the new hometown of Sundsvall and a certain Charlotte Kalla was asked before the moving load left Östersund.

– I stopped by her and drank coffee and got to ask all my questions about the city. It was very nice and she sold the town well and I moved here anyway. Think I’ll run into her on the trail anyway.

– But I haven’t seen her on the roller skating rink so I don’t think there will be a comeback like for Therese (Johaug), laughs Lundgren.

But the persistent concussion takes its toll, strangely enough, exercise is the best while everyday things are worse. Lundgren crashed on roller skis at 52 kilometers per hour during training in the very WC city of Trondheim on August 16.

– It is much better. I drove yesterday and it was the first time I drove longer than an hour. I’ve started working on screens, but I can handle training with running and roller skis, the band has been the smartest. I’m lucky that the run worked well.
