Charlotte Kalla talks about the concerns many feel during the pandemic.

- It is terrible what situation they are physically affected, but also all the effects that come around like unemployment and insecurity. A concern that many people certainly carry.

The cross-country skier is still trying to be positive in this tough time.

- I choose to see what this has given me and certainly many others. Opportunity to stop and really be here and now.

In normal cases, Kalla is afraid of getting sick as it can adversely affect her sport, but this spring there have been changed roles as she has been careful in contact with her friends who are not elite athletes.

- I think a lot more about my regular friends who don't play sports. That I don't want to carry anyone with them. I've probably become more vigilant and ask the question once more if they want to be seen at lunch or dinner. I'm afraid of them. The respect they have shown me for many years I also need to take into account now that I will meet them, says Kalla in the documentary.

"The Invisible Opponent", made by Björn Becksmo and Pelle Wittheden, will be broadcast in SVT1 and on SVT Play on Wednesday at 20:00.
