It was tight about the places and in the end it was Anna Dyvik who got to cheer when the national team management announced that she had taken the penultimate place in the Swedish Olympic team.
At the same time, it was a curtain for Johanna Hagström, who was poked despite a podium this winter.
- Johanna and I are good friends and we have talked a lot, both in Davos and these days.
It is a special situation and we were in the same situation last year also around the World Cup, and then it was I who got the bad news.
So I recognize myself very much in her feelings, says Anna Dyvik.
"Hugs"
She was quickly there to support her friend when the news came.
- Yesterday I went straight to her room when I knew she had received the message and then we hugged a little and I comforted her.
We talked about it sucking.
It's just that.
We are both podium candidates and right now Sweden's women's team is so strong that one unfortunately does not get a place, says Dyvik.
One who is still waiting for an Olympic ticket is Charlotte Kalla.
The championship veteran must perform to take a place, but Anna Dyvik thinks she can do it.
- Yes, I think so.
Of course, says Dyvik and continues:
- It's tough, but Charlotte is good at handling pressure.
She has been involved for so long so she has a lot of experience of it.
She is also a person who grows under a little pressure.
I think it's good for her.
It feels like she has an upward trend as well.
