Frida Karlsson looked to drive home her second Swedish Championship gold in two days.
But she was broken by Charlotte Kalla - who is about to end her career - in the sprint of the Swedish Championship week's 15 kilometers.
Despite that, Karlsson was not too depressed after the finish.
"Gave everything"
First the star made the wave in front of Kalla and then she showed her appreciation.
- I gave everything I could on the sprint and then a cannon (Kalla) came on the waiting edge, Frida Karlsson smiles.
She continues:
- It's just bending and bending.
If there's anyone who deserves this, it's Cold.
I'm happy for her.
Went with Ebba Andersson's skis
It is noteworthy that Kalla drove home the gold on a pair of club mate (Piteå Elite) Ebba Andersson's skis.
- I have to thank Ebba, Kalla smiles afterwards.
Andersson, who took bronze, shows his appreciation to Kalla afterwards.
- It's just to congratulate, she says.
