Frida Karlsson suffered a tough setback a few weeks ago.
Nevertheless, she was back on the starting line in the premiere and made a success.
Now the Swedish skiing star is questioned by the great rival Norway.
It made big headlines a month ago when Frida Karlsson suffered a setback and was forced to reschedule his entire training close to the ski season. It also began to be speculated whether the World Ski Championships could be in danger.
Karlsson’s comeback
But despite all the concerns, the 25-year-old was still able to stand on the starting line in Bruksvallarna for the Swedish ski premiere. Karlsson also made a big impression by coming second, after a superb Ebba Andersson.

As late as Tuesday, Frida was able to go to work for the first time since the setback. Of course, it is remarkable that she can impress so much in the skiing premiere.
Ski-Norway about Frida
The lightning-quick comeback has also provoked strong reactions from arch-rival Norway.
– It went very quickly from her almost not being able to go to the WC to suddenly now competing in Bruksvallarna, says Therese Johaug sourly to Nettavisen and thinks that Karlsson has exaggerated his situation.
– Is she perhaps trying to dampen the expectations of herself? So it can be. We’ll see. A lot has always happened around Frida, says the legend Marit Björgenwho is now a coach in the Norwegian national ski team.

Both Norwegians are convinced that the mental game between Sweden and Norway is now underway ahead of the Ski World Championships. But Frida Karlsson is surprised that the Norwegians react so much.
– I don’t really know what to say about that. I ended up in a situation I really didn’t want. And after that, I have tried to make the best of the situation, she tells Expressen.
Karlsson does not agree that she has exaggerated her injury and worries ahead of the season.
– The truth is that Per (Nilsson, personal trainer) and I thought about whether I should compete at all before Christmas. You could also just train during that time instead.
– But this is what I want to do. Racing is the most fun of all!
