Frida Karlsson is forced to give up and end the season prematurely.
Now the Swedish skiing star chooses to skip the SM week.
– I will go home, she writes in disappointment to SVT.
The ski season ends with SM week in Boden and so far has Jonna Sundling made a big success with three straight SM golds. It has been significantly tougher for the national team colleague Frida Karlsson.
Frida drops out
She has really had to fight in the tracks and in Friday’s 10 km race, Frida finished seventh, almost two minutes behind Sundling. After that, Karlsson was completely exhausted and things haven’t gotten any better since then.

Now comes the explanation that the 24-year-old has developed a fever, she announces this herself on Instagram. Therefore, Karlsson chooses to end the SM week and thus the entire season prematurely.
“I’m going home now,” she writes in a text message to SVT.
Karlsson finished
Frida Karlsson can thus summarize the entire ski season and it has been a fine one for the Swede. She has won three individual races at the World Cup and two relay victories, where the five-mile in Holmenkollen obviously stands out the most.

The SM week in Boden continues with individual sprints on Sunday, relay on Monday and finally three miles on Tuesday. Where Sundling has a chance to take a grand slam and win SM gold in all six different races.
