Frida Karlsson was then asked what it was like to be interviewed by a former rival. And of course it was special.
– It was good. But it felt like we were talking as usual, it was a bit silly like that, she says in the interview.

But it also became a little embarrassing when Therese Johaug’s well-known book came up. Karlsson got it as a present from the Norwegian and jokingly said that she would keep it in the toilet as a “dassbook”.
