Frida Karlsson states in the extra material for SVT's documentary about the cross-country national team that she herself was involved in raising expectations for the World Cup relay.
- I was one of those who raised this day: Stop the trains, close all shops and stop working and just sit in front of the TV.
That was my call.
And that made that meeting with the media afterwards extra tough, the 22-year-old admits.
- Yes, I had to go through the mixed zone and talk to the Norwegian press, which I had clearly said we want to be favorites.
They probably did not feel sorry for me for five öre when I stood and was so cocky in front, says Frida Karlsson.
In "Best when it comes to - the stars' own words", which was released on Sunday, Karlsson also talks about the aftermath of the relay where the Swedish poll manager Petter Myhlback went out and took on the fiasco.
- It was great done and a security for us.
He can be honest and say that today we made a mistake and we will not repeat the same mistake.
