Johanna Hagström has performed well at the sprint races during the season and was third in the sprint cup before today's race. But once in Falun, nothing was right.
"I'm riding my worst race of the season. It just wasn't right today for me. I think it responds poorly to gear three. I don't really know what's going on in the prologue, I don't think I'm riding that badly really," says a noticeably emotional Hagström.
"I'm not there"
However, the sprint star can't put her finger on what it was that didn't work, which she herself describes as the hardest part.
"Had I known that I had bad skis or that it felt bad, that I felt tough. But I had good skis and such, so maybe it's the hardest. I'm not there. I was incredibly dumb after the prologue and the quarter now. So sad when there's this atmosphere, I would have liked to go on," she says.
