ÖSTERSUND / STOCKHOLM. Ebba Andersson shot all the way with Frida Karlsson behind.
And then he won a rock hard sprint duel.
– I thought he shouldn’t be near me for a single second on the track, says Ebba.
– It was a great riot, says Frida Karlsson.
Ebba Andersson herself said after the race that the plan was not to draw. But when the speed wasn’t high enough the first kilometer, he took it hard, and then never let go.
– You might think ‘how stupid is she who shoots all the time’, but I wanted a high temperature for the entire race, so I still got the race I wanted, says Ebba Andersson.
The only one who stayed behind was Frida Karlsson. She stayed glued to his back the entire way without making a single attempt to pull.
But despite the advantageous position, he did not reach the mutiny.
– It’s a short riot, so I really wanted to be the first to go in and when I felt Frida coming I thought that now I should close and not give her a single centimeter of space and that was probably what she decided in the end, says Ebba Andersson. in the Sportbladet transmission.
“Be alert in the back”
Frida Karlsson hoped to use the “craving” in the last downhill race, but lost it.
– It was a big riot for me, I thought I would press hard on the rock on the ridge, but I get too close not to slip. Then I go right and then Ebba pushes me so I can go back and walk, I could have done a lot better, says Frida Karlsson and suggests that I could have tried earlier.
– I gained strength at the rear and was in the selection and classifying whether I should go to the beginning of the last lap during the last lap or wait for the sprint. But I never expected a sprint so I thought it might be the perfect time to give it a go.
You were never called by Ebba on the road, is that a long enough race to be behind?
– No, she did not say anything in any case and it is up to everyone how to do it. There is no rule that says you must draw. But I’m thankful Ebba set such a good pace.
