After a monster jerk in the dreaded hill, Ebba Andersson took her first individual victory in the World Cup almost two weeks ago.
Tomorrow, when there is a skiathlon in Lahti, Andersson will do his first competition after the Tour de Ski.
And she admits it feels a little different.
- It's still the same Ebba sitting here, but of course I may not have as much doubt and uncertainty after the stages in Val Müstair where I did not perform at all as I wanted.
So now I feel a little different calm, she says to SVT Sport, and refers to the initial Tour de Ski stages, where she did not get better than twelve at best.
Norway back
However, the opposition in Lahti is of a completely different caliber than in the Tour de Ski.
Norway is now back in the World Cup, for the first time since the World Cup premiere.
- Super cool!
This means that there will be six more strong girls on the starting line.
They were missing during the Tour de Ski, because you want all the best to be on the starting line, so that they are back feels very welcome, says Andersson.
Do you think they look at you differently after the victory in the Tour de Ski?
- I think they have the same view of me.
I have nevertheless been established at that hearing level in recent seasons.
But I know that it takes a lot for everything to work out and for me to win, there are very small margins.
