Cross-country skiing: a mixed return to competition for Frida Karlsson
On Friday, during the inaugural individual skate of the cross-country skiing world cup in Les Rousses (Jura), Frida Karlsson took time to reflect on her disappointing seventh place. For her return to the world circuit, where she hasn’t raced since December 2024, the Swede thought she could do better. Nordic Magazine spoke to the Scandinavian.

After skipping the Tour de Ski, the 25-year-old cross-country skier was still looking for her best sensations. “I’m not very happy after today’s race. I think I was a bit nervous before the start, and I wasn’t as calm as I would have liked when I was skiing,” she confides. I was a bit too tense”.
The Swede now looks ahead to Sunday’s mass-start classic
On Sunday, Frida Karlsson will also be lining up at the start of the 20-kilometre mass-start classic , where she hopes to stand out: “Today I didn’t have the pace to push harder. But the flat part of the track suits me a lot, it’s very important. It’s even more important than the uphill sections. I’m looking forward to racing on the mass start on Sunday”, she says.
