It is important to be the best when it comes to it. Just ask Ebba Andersson.
The 27-year-old took the first World Cup victory in the World Cup at home in Falun.
“It’s really been a tough way back,” she tells Viaplay.
In December 2023 was the last time as Ebba Andersson Took a victory in the World Cup. And this season, the form has been, to say the least, swinging.
Something that has taken hard on the Swedish ski star.
– Sometimes it has been incredibly frustrating, and almost so that I start to think about if it is worthwhile to do this when it almost becomes that the little jaws weigh over all the hours of joy, says Andersson to Viaplay and continues:
– But there has still been some faith in me that this is not like this is not … I haven’t “peaked” 100 percent yet.
Ebba’s first victory
Something 27-year-old showed to the highest degree below 10 kilometers classic at home in Falun in the World Cup.

Andersson went out hard, and refused to switch down. The main threat, Norwegian Heidi Weng, did what she could to match Andersson’s pace during half the race. But then it was “play against a goal”, and Andersson wiped out bit by bit.
Andersson’s words
The victory was the Swedish first for the season in the World Cup, and eighth individually ever.
– It has really been a tough way back at the top of the podium, so it feels extra nice when you succeed as I did today, she tells Viaplay.
To say the least, the form top comes. With barely two weeks left for the start of the ski World Cup in Trondheim, Andersson has shown that the shape is only getting better and better. Last week she shattered the resistance at the SM, and now she has also shown form top at the World Cup.
