Linn Svahn, Maja Dahlqvist and Frida Karlsson chose an own arrangement in the pre-season, which attracted a lot of attention.
In Viaplay’s new series “Golden dreams – winners in the long run” which follows the national cross-country team’s journey towards the WC, viewers get to hear Frida Karlsson talk about the decision.
– The reason behind the decision in May was because, above all, I want to be able to keep to my common thread. That I don’t feel like I have to pull on it so much when I go to national team camps, as it has felt a bit.
Frida Karlsson: “Will I come and go completely alone”
In one episode of the series, the national team has gathered in Torsby for a training camp, and Frida Karlsson and Maja Dahlqvist are also there to train.
One morning, Blågult are gathered for training, when Frida Karlsson is forced to walk past all her teammates on the way to her own session.
– I got a “walk of shame” feeling. The national team had gathered on the football field for some morning activation and then I come and walk all alone towards the ski tunnel, she says.
