The star in orienteering, Tove Alexandersson, previously tested positive for covid-19 in July.
On Thursday, she did her first competition after being affected by the virus.
Then it became a third place in the long distance.
And in the middle distance yesterday she landed a fifth place.
Investments that, by Alexandersson standards, are far below what we are used to.
Now she announces the reason.
“I thought I had recovered from covid and was ready to compete again.
The first 60 on the long distance were okay, the last 30 I was just empty, "she writes on her Instagram.
"After that, the body just wants to sleep, trying to compete yesterday was not fun.
It's time to take a break, recover and not stress about being ready again ”
"Not weird"
Federation captain Håkan Carlsson believes that the terrain has been challenging during the competitions in Idre.
Alexandersson has felt that the competitions have worn out more than usual.
- Which is not strange since she was recently ill in covid-19, says Håkan Carlsson, national team captain.
