So far, the season has not become as Charlotte Kalla herself had imagined in advance. At the peak of the season the Tour de Ski became a total twelfth place.

- If I choose to continue for another year, we are guaranteed to make adjustments, but right now no quick fix can be made. What could be done differently is something we think about and evaluate all the time, Kalla said in an interview with SVT earlier this week.

"Think she continues"

SVT Sports expert Mathias Fredriksson, on the other hand, believes that there will be a continued investment in the coming season by Charlotte Kalla.

- I don't think she wants to quit this way. Before this season, I don't think Kalla thought this would be my last season. I think she will continue as she knows it will be championships next year, says SVT Sports expert Mathias Fredriksson in the Winter Studio.

One reason, he believes, is also the economic aspect.

- She makes good money, and it's no secret. The alternative is to do something different and it's pretty much down to money.

Better in championships

Despite the weak season, Fredriksson emphasizes that Charlotte Kalla has never actually been on the podium in the overall World Cup. She has been an outstanding championship rider.

- Kalla has been very skilled at getting the maximum out during the championship weeks. All medals speak for themselves, but since then she has not been as good at keeping that level during the World Cup. It is championships that have been her thing.

Big change

Charlotte Kalla is keen on whether there will be a continuation in that case there will be a change in the training schedule.

- Had I been her coach I would have said "make many decisions myself". Kalla has the answer herself because she has been with her for so long. I would put a lot of responsibility on Charlotte, and I think that's the answer.
