It was an astonished Karlsson who stepped onto the stage for the second time.

- Okay, shit. My journey into the world elite went really fast, to be told to get the chance in the opening distance, ”says Karlsson who, after all, missed out on fifth place in the opening skiathlon, she would have gone for it earlier, and then brought with her a gold in the long the relay, a silver after pressing Therese Johaug at 10 km classic and a bronze at the closing 30 km.

- I want this award available to all of you who have helped me and helped me on the journey: coaches, teammates, family and friends. Together with you, I want to live by my favorite quote: "I never lose, either I win or I learn - and we go out of all positions strong," says Karlsson.
