Clara Henry will be SVT's traveling reporter when the Vasaloppet celebrates 100 years in March.
Last time she had to get off after 63 km in Oxberg because she missed the "rope" but now she is ready again and this time she will take revenge.
- Had I been asked the question before 2021, which I received before it was certain whether it would be done or not, I probably would not have done it.
Because it was very hard to get off.
- I had received the question very late and did not have much experience of skiing.
But now I am in better physical shape, I have run the Vasaloppet and got the question already this summer and have now had the opportunity to prepare better and of course I want revenge.
Was it the thought all along already then, that it was so fun that you wanted to do it again?
- No, it was terrible.
I went there in the track in the snowstorm and thought this was the worst thing I have done.
Living in Robinson for 31 days without food was easier.
Better conditions now
Just like then, it is Mattias Svahn who will accompany her on the track and until then guide her through the training.
- Now I train a lot of upper body, a lot of triceps, back, torso strength.
Then I will try to ski as much as possible now that it is snowing.
Total performance anxiety but you get a long way on it.
- Mattias is a good teacher.
First of all, I can feel how I develop, he is so heavenly, he is a small compliment factory.
In the first episode, Mattias says that he thinks there is a 75 percent chance that you will make it, what do you say about that?
- I called him and asked what he meant, and he greets that he is joking.
It is possible to follow Clara's journey towards revenge on SVT Play, where the first episode is already out now.
