Ida Dahl, who is a star in Ski Classics, is on Saturday morning at the start of the freestyle sprint in the Swiss Val Müstair.

If I had said a year ago that you would sprint in the Tour de Ski, what would you have said?

- Then I would have thought you were joking, I probably wouldn't have believed it, says Dahl to SVT Sport.

According to her, it had been three or four years since she competed in the discipline. 

- It feels great, it will be exciting to test this again now.

I've done it sometime a long time ago, I'm looking forward to it.

- We have to hope that the beats are in place.

Ida Dahl has a junior SC bronze in the freestyle sprint and as a senior has reached the semifinals as the best at a SC, that was in Skellefteå 2018.

What will be the objective?

- It will probably be to get on from the qualifiers first and foremost, she says.
