Last season, she suffered a stretch in her thigh that put the World Cup in jeopardy. And although she did recover, there was something that affected her a lot during the season. This season also did not become as Stina Nilsson had hoped for, and after a season introduction with injuries, there will now be a longer break for the Swedish sprint queen.
- You feel sorry for her that she gets another season where she is as good as she is destroyed, says Anders Blomquist.
Anders Blomquist believes that the stress fracture that Stina Nilsson has now can depend on Stina Nilsson's tremendous drive to improve.
- It's in some way the back of the coin. It is related to the greatness of Stina Nilsson that she is a person who drives things to her head. She doesn't give up until she has tested the limits and a little more, he says.
Although there may be a high load behind the injury, Blomquist does not want to claim that it was a mistake decision to ride the Tour de Ski, which she was then forced to cancel.
- She must have made that assessment before it would work. Otherwise, she would never have started. In retrospect, many things are easier, especially when it comes to injuries.
