Frida Karlsson talks about her injury: "Not only negative"

Frida Karlsson talks openly about her injury before the season, saying, "It’s not always just negative to be injured." During the World Cup opener in Ruka, she performed remarkably well, finishing 46.5 seconds ahead of Norwegian rival Therese Johaug, marking her eleventh World Cup victory in her career.

In October, Karlsson revealed that she had suffered a stress injury to her foot, which required a change in her training regime. She relocated to Tenerife to train independently from her teammates. Despite initial uncertainties about her readiness for competition, her recent performance proved her resilience and capability to overcome challenges.

She demonstrates a positive attitude about her injury, emphasizing that it has provided her with new training insights and strategies that may enhance her performance in the long run.

Karlsson's victory not only highlights her athletic prowess but also showcases her ability to adapt and thrive, even in the face of adversity.
