Recently, Jenny Rissveds won her eighth Swedish Championship gold, a glimmer of light in a far from normal summer that included a crash and the second concussion in less than a year.

Expectations have been low, but last week Rissved ran the World Cup competition in Nove Mesto.

To challenge himself and get a workout before the World Cup in Leogang, Austria, next weekend.

- It was a tough week in Nove Mesto last week because I have not trained at all as much as I usually do after the lap at the end of July, she writes in a message to SVT Sport.

- I am happy that I made the decision to compete in any case and even though the days this week have been different due to Covid-19, I look forward to competing again on Saturday.

The goal for the World Cup race on Saturday is not something she wants to focus on, the most important thing right now is to compete and enjoy the positive feeling of being on the start:

- What I took with me from last week is actually that it was positive from a training point of view both mentally and physically rather than that it was heavy.

Even after the first race, I felt more relaxed before the competition situation and I still have that feeling, says Jenny Rissveds.
