Emma Ribom on Tough Times: 'I've Lost Myself'

Emma Ribom has faced a challenging season, starting with injury issues that disrupted her training. She aimed to compete strongly at the World Cup in Ruka after winning back-to-back sprints there last season. However, she had to withdraw from the World Cup debut due to severe back pain, which made even simple tasks like walking around her hotel room difficult.

Ribom mentioned that engaging in sports can be exhilarating when everything goes smoothly, but the challenges when facing injuries can feel overwhelming. "I've felt that I lost myself a bit," she expressed.

Despite the tough start, Ribom is optimistic about finding her way back to performing well, highlighting the support from friends and family as crucial during this challenging time.

As she prepares for the upcoming sprint competition in Lillehammer, her goal is not only to regain her competitive edge but also to rediscover the joy of skiing that she once had.
