Frida Karlsson was forced to stand over the historic five-mile.
Now comes the next setback for the Swedish skiing star.
Who is now leaving Norway immediately after today’s tough announcement.
It’s been a tough time for Frida Karlsson after the skiing WC in Planica and the medal success there. When the World Cup was about to start, a historic race awaited in Holmenkollen with the very first women’s five-mile race ever.

But this weekend the setback came when both Karlsson and Ebba Andersson had to stop due to illness. Frida apparently felt hung over according to reports and threw in the towel for safety reasons.
