Ebba Andersson faced challenges during the season opener in Ruka, finishing more than a minute behind Frida Karlsson. She admitted that she couldn't find the necessary flow in her skiing, reflecting on her performance and saying, "I couldn't find the calmness required in my skiing."

Last weekend, Andersson had come out on top against Karlsson, but this time, the roles were reversed. In the 10 kilometers classic event, she finished sixth, trailing Karlsson significantly.

"It’s a combination of Frida having an incredibly strong race and me not performing as well as last weekend, which created this gap. I need to reload and aim to do better next time," she commented. While she acknowledged feeling some pressure, she felt she managed to keep it under control and stayed focused on her goals.
