Linda Bergström was injured at the end of 2019. She suffered that injury well into 2020. But she does not seem to have been significantly affected by the injury.
Because after that, she has lifted the game to a new level, and was able to qualify for the Olympics in March.
But something unexpected happened for Bergström himself.
- I thought before that I would manage it with a good draw and if I was in top shape.
But when the league captain came with the draw, I just said "hell," and then I left.
So I did not think I would make it when I saw which players I needed to beat, she says to SVT Sport.
Now, however, she believes that the experience of having had such a tough qualifier can help her in the Olympics, where the opposition is likely to be tough.
- The more good players I beat, the more I know I can handle this.
Now I beat two very good players from Europe and other players may be unsure of what level I can keep.
These are things I take with me from there.
