On Friday, the mountain bike World Cup starts in France.
One day before the premiere, Swedish profile Jenny Rissveds is forced to throw in the towel.
The 28-year-old - who has a strong season behind her with several podium places in the World Cup - tells Radiosporten that she is suffering from a cold.
- I started with calm training and then it (the cold) broke out again.
I suspect that I started a little too soon, says Rissveds.
After his Olympic gold in 2018, Rissveds struggled with his mental health.
Today she feels better - which eases the setback before the WC.
- It sucks that I can't drive, but thanks to the fact that I feel good in general, I can take it better now, she says.
