Ten kilometers of classic offered a real show by Frida Karlsson.
The 20-year-old opened rock hard and took the lead with six seconds straight, with 15 seconds to the good of Charlotte Kalla. After that, time only increased more and more.
- Yesterday it was a match between Charlotte Kalla and her, but today she is in a lone division, says SVT Sports commentator Anders Blomquist.
Instead, there was a fight for second place between Charlotte Kalla and Jonna Sundling.
"Floating on a wave of joy"Kalla stood for a strong finish, but did not reach all the way to Sundling, but crossed goals two and a half seconds slower.
Frida Karlsson crossed goals with 40 seconds down to Sundling, and 42.5 down to Kalla.
- The body feels really, really good. I think many people struggled with the bracket, it was fun before but it's great to train on that too, says Frida Karlsson to SVT Sport.
- I felt that I lost a little in the technique, I ran quite a lot, but I like to run too.
The tributes after the race were many.
- She impressed yesterday but the question is whether or not this is even more impressive. This is a very, very good race, ”says Anders Blomquist.
- She just floats on a wave of joy and confidence, says the other expert Johanna Ojala.
