Frida Karlsson came four in the skiathlon and went on a World Cup medal.
In the Viaplay interview afterwards the tears came.
– A fourth place is not something you dream of, she says in the broadcast.
It eventually became a duel between Ebba Andersson27, and Therese Johaug36, where the Swede was strongest. She won Sunday’s World Cup ski-kiathlon with a ski tip margin. Somewhat surprising it was the sprint specialist Jonna Sundling30, who took care of the bronze. Her second World Cup medal in Trondheim, after the sprint victory on Thursday.
Frida’s disappointment after the miss
For Frida Karlsson25, which was one of the favorites in advance, it was only a fourth place. She was far from happy with that. When she talked to Viaplay after the race, tears came. In a subsequent interview with Expressen, she explains how she feels.
– No, but right now I’m pretty disappointed. A little empty, a little .. I just want to go about this race. It doesn’t feel like I’m giving myself justice, she says.

The feeling was that Frida was quite abandoned afterwards – and dissatisfied with her own efforts.
– Pretty sour, I would say. It is a fairly long medal line that is now broken on the World Cup race for me. It’s just to come back, she says.
