Frida Karlsson may skip the Tour de Ski after several Swedish stars miss the World Cup event in Davos. Previously, Karlsson announced she wouldn't compete in Davos this weekend. Reports indicate she might also have to forego the Tour de Ski, as she is still recovering from a foot stress injury that has been affecting her performance in full-speed competitions. Karlsson's coach, Per Nilsson, emphasized that her focus is on the World Championships, which is the main goal for the season, and they do not want to take any risks with her health. In addition to Karlsson, other notable absences from Davos include Ebba Andersson, Linn Svahn, Maja Dahlqvist, and Calle Halfvarsson.
