Maja Dahlqvist had a phenomenal start to the season and won everything.
During the Olympics, there were three medals - in three starts.
- I am very happy with the Olympics, I had three starts and three medals and it was very special conditions, so I am super happy, she says to SVT Sport.
"Believe in a better feeling"
Last weekend, the Swedes took a trip in Lahti's sprint, where Jonna Sundling won before Emma RIbom, Maja Dahlqvist came third.
She was happy with third place.
- I was in good shape at the Olympics and when I got home I crash-landed a bit physically and mentally, it was a time change and I was very tired.
Then I allowed myself to relax a bit.
- In Lahti I was very happy that I came third, then it did not feel like I was on the track again, but now it feels better again.
I believe in a better feeling tomorrow than I had in Lahti.
Leading the sprint cup: "Super motivating"
Dahlqvist leads the total sprint cup with 457 points ahead of the Slovenian Anamarija Lampic who has 316. For a victory in the World Cup you get 100 points, a second place gives 80 points and the third place gives 60 points.
There are two confirmed sprint competitions left of the World Cup (Drammen and Falun), but Fis is trying to move the World Cup final to a place other than Russian Tiumen, which was a regular place.
Nothing is clear yet.
- It's fun that I have such a situation now at the end of the season, otherwise it's easy for the air to go out like this at the end, the big thing this year was the Olympics, but now I have the total sprint cup left, I have never won it before .
It is super motivating to fight for every single point there no matter how it will feel.
The sprint qualifier starts at 10:00 and the finals start at 12:30.
