Olympic gold medalist and multiple Swedish champion Jenny Rissveds has for a period been unlucky with injuries.

In July, she crashed so badly that she had a concussion and it was the second in a relatively short time.

Also last year, she suffered a concussion after a fall, so the rehabilitation has been thorough.

- We had almost deducted the whole year, says Fredrik Kessiakoff.

But she felt good enough to be able to compete in the Swedish Championships last week.

She won the Swedish Championship gold even though she is not even close to top form yet.

"Jenny is a world star"

For the World Cup, which is broadcast on SVT, the biggest favorites are Pauline Ferrand Prevot, France, Kate Courtney, USA and Jolanda Neff, Switzerland.

TV viewers should probably not expect Jenny Rissveds to fight with them for the medals.

- No, based on the conditions, that she has not been able to train as usual and is not in top shape, we will probably reduce the high expectations.

But Jenny is a world star.

On a good day, she can be at the forefront of the war.

SVT broadcasts the World Cup in mountain biking on October 10 12: 10-13: 50 on SVT1.
