Svahn won the previous mass start over the same distance last Saturday.
After all, she was happy with life after the turbulence during covid testing.
- I have had a good time and there has been no need for me, says Svahn to SVT Sport.
It has been said that you have antibodies. How safe have you felt in this situation?
- You have to have confidence in what you know.
You must not stress yourself unnecessarily and I tried to have hopes that it would be a false positive test and thought well that there was a risk that it would not be.
It was nice to get the confirmation that it was a false positive test, she thinks and was extra happy to just compete.
That Svahn has antibodies against covid-19 means that she already had the disease, which is unclear when it was.
Going out and jogging tonight
- It was very fun to compete and I had very nice skis but did not have the last thing to be able to fight all the way in, says Svahn who has a strong stage ahead of him in Saturday's sprint.
- Now I have to try to keep going before the sprint and recharge the batteries.
There has been a lot of silence in the hotel room, but if I get to run a little tonight, I'll probably be ready for tomorrow.
I like sprint and I like classic, she says.
It is a relief to have escaped the quarantine in the hotel room.
- It was not optimal charging to be locked in the hotel room but that was the situation and I had to make the best of the situation.
