It is a strong Frida Karlsson who starts the Tour de Ski, after a strong start to the season with a total second place in the World Cup.

And giving up the tour to save energy for the Beijing Olympics has never been the case.

Something that, for example, Therese Johaug chooses to do.

- I made this plan for the Olympics already this spring, and have been able to follow it.

And it has gone according to plan since then, and I feel super confident in it, she says to SVT Sport.

And when she stands on the starting line during Tuesday's first stage, the goal is to win.

- In all races you compete in, you have a chance to win.

It's just like all other competitions, but I focus on one race at a time, says Frida Karlsson.

SVT broadcasts the first stage of the Tour de Ski on Tuesday, starting at 11.00 on SVT1 and Play.
