Frida Karlsson goes out for the first time as a final skier in a relay team today.
- So I feel that it is an honorable assignment.
I have never ridden the anchor route before, so this will be a tough challenge, she says.
Despite the fact that during the press conference it sounded like the Swedes want to transfer the press to the Norwegians, Karlsson is optimistic.
- Everyone is trying to pull that down, but I're floating a little upward.
I think we deserve to be favorites, says the 21-year-old.
"I say what I want"
One who did not get a place in the team was Linn Svahn and the latter has largely stayed away from the media.
Something that Frida Karlsson thinks you should learn to handle.
- Make sure to make it something fun instead, says Frida Karlsson about Linn's situation.
- I say what I want, you will not be able to tame or control me.
So see it as an opportunity to say what you want to say.
I get energy from taking the media.
Duel awaits with Norwegian super talent
Today, however, Sollefteå's pride has other things to focus on than the media.
A duel awaits between Norway's Helene Marie Fossesholm and Frida Karlsson.
Where the Norwegian has fired over the press at Karlsson.
- I do not understand it.
She says outright that she believes more in me than herself.
So I will probably just thank and receive, says Frida Karlsson.
She hopes the relay ends like this:
- I have a dream scenario to be able to take a Swedish flag, wave to the cardboard audience and meet my teammates in the finish line.
That's my dream scenario.
