"She looked very agitated" – this is why Ebba Andersson was disqualified from competing in a recent race, reporting directly from Rogersport at Sveriges Radio.

In an eventful disqualification, it was reported that when Ebba Andersson exited the jury room, she appeared surprised and unsettled. According to reporter Jonatan Bergman, "Everyone seemed to be quite surprised when she was escorted, including herself, and she spent a good 10 to 15 minutes inside before emerging looking very agitated."

The national team coach Ida Ingemarsdotter explained that the disqualification was related to the jury's view of Andersson's classic skiing technique. She was accused of not adhering to regulations, leading to a repeat yellow card. However, the Swedish federation is not satisfied with this verdict and is considering a further appeal.
