After the victory, she obviously met the overall press corps and had to put words into her feelings. But she also got an unexpected visit in the form of a former Swedish Olympic hero. The hockey legend Peter Forsberg51, was in place to cheer the Swedes. The next day she got the question from SVT what it was like to meet “Foppa”.
– It was great fun to see him here. It was a bit unspoken. Funny surprise, of course, she tells SVT Sport.
Jonna Sundling reveals Forsberg’s words
The reason Peter Forsberg was visiting was partly that he lives near the place of competition, in Swiss Zug. Partly that he is an incredible ski lover. SVT asks Sundling what “Foppa” really told her when they met and were photographed together.
– Oh, I don’t really remember, but he might congratulate me. We greeted each other a little and talked a little in general. He was nice, she says.

In addition, she says it seems that he is in control of the sport. Just as he himself said.
– I didn’t ask him so hard so I don’t really know. But he was here and checked so little control he learns, she says.
Forsberg also took the opportunity to congratulate Edvin Anger At the same time, when he also won the men’s sprint the same day.
Big congratulations Edvin and Jonna! Fun with a little celebert visit to the competition. Not every day himself Peter Forsberg comes and congratulates one for the win. Nicely done.
