Astrid Öyre Slind is an experienced cross-country skier with many victories in Ski Classics.
But last season she got spoiled due to overtraining and he interrupted it already in January.
This weekend she was back and in the first individual race it was an immediate victory.
- It will not get better than this.
I was unsure before.
It's been a year and a half since I skied fast, as well.
Getting this in the first race is nice to take with you into Christmas, she says.
Are you going to be the big threat this winter now?
- I will be one of the threats in any case, but there are strong girls in both Sweden and Norway.
So it will not be an easy season.
SVT's expert Mathias Fredriksson is impressed.
- Now she has returned and all reports have said that she is strong.
She shows that today.
She kept a huge pace, he says.
