It was in connection with Stina Nilsson canceling the Tour de Ski that it became apparent that she had sustained a stress fracture in a rib. Since then she has not competed. Now she exclusively tells SVT Sport that there will be no more competitions for this year and that the season is over for her part.
- Everything is going well in the rehabilitation but I need to give you the sad news that I will not compete in the World Cup this year anymore, says Stina Nilsson in an exclusive interview with SVT Sport.
It was already last summer that Stina Nilsson suffered a crack in a rib, an injury that destroyed much of the preseason. The injury has since continued throughout the season but during the Tour de Ski it was no longer possible but she had to break.
With only the Ski Tour in Sweden and Norway and a few World Cup races left out of the season, there is no need to rush a comeback.
- I feel that there is nothing to stress about. I don't use sticks yet in training and I don't want to risk next season, ”she says.
