Charlotte Kalla finished the first competition weekend in over 300 days with a great effort in the relay.

Afterwards, she was happy with her first World Cup weekend of the season.

- It has given me a lot of lactic acid, a strengthened self-confidence and a lot of joy to be back on the ski track, says the 33-year-old.

"Good with many tough races"

Next weekend awaits the World Cup in Falun and it is now important to find the form until February 24 when the World Cup begins in Oberstdorf.

- It feels good to get so many tough races in a short time.

Then there is the opportunity to get some good training before the form topping begins, says Kalla.

Thanks to Charlotte Kalla's fine first leg, among others, Sweden finished second in the relay.

42.9 seconds behind the winners Norway.

Third Finland was 59.5 seconds behind the Norwegians.

- She does very well on her stretch.

She cracks the field.

It was important that she had to finish strong, says SVT's expert Mathias Fredriksson.

The Swedish squad for the WC will be presented in connection with the Swedish Championships in Borås 9-11 February.
