Historic competition in Holmenkollen.
Then Frida Karlsson sends a perfect pass to Ebba Andersson.
– She’s probably the only one who really wants to go, says the star.
Ebba Andersson’s WC was one big show. She completely dominated the skiathlon, but the big show of power came in the closing three miles. Ebba Andersson was superior and eventually won by a large margin, and was hugely praised afterwards.
Historic competition
Some called it Therese Johaug class, and Andersson has proven that she is the absolute best distance skier in the world at the moment. And this weekend she gets the chance to prove it again. A historic World Cup competition awaits then in the Norwegian Holmenkollen. For the first time, the ladies will compete for five miles, i.e. the same distance as the men.
It is a change that Sweden in particular has been working on for too long, and Frida Karlsson is also competing in the competition.
– Not a single interview has gone by without someone reminding me of that competition, says Frida Karlsson to the Norwegian news agency NTB.
The interview with Frida was done in connection with the WC in Planica, and right then and there, perhaps Frida Karlsson wasn’t in the mood for a five-mile run.

Frida’s wonderful fit
The arrangement has been planned by everyone, as the historic competition comes only a week after the WC, where all skaters pushed themselves to the absolute limit. However, Frida Karlsson is competing, but she is aware that she is not the favorite, given what happened at the WC. Instead, she takes the opportunity to send a wonderful pass to Ebba Andersson.
Frida Karlsson believes that fewer and fewer competitors should be eager to compete given Andersson’s performance in the WC.
– Before the WC, we said that it’s probably only me and Ebba who want to walk five miles. But now I probably just think it’s Ebba who wants to ride it, she says.
