OBERSTDORF. In the middle of celebrating the Swedish medal, Emma Ribom sat alone on a bench.
Then came the tears.
– I expected more, I had a good feeling, he says later.
It was a medal party and a lively return for Charlotte Kalla. At the finish area in Oberstdorf, happy scenes were produced by the Swedish skiers and leaders who enjoyed the successes together. Silver, bronze and a fifth place, there was reason to be happy.
“I tried to pick myself up”
Emma Ribom was sitting alone on a bench some distance from the party. Quiet and with empty eyes.
A long time later the skier of the national team arrived and when she recounted the sensations after the goal, the tears were present.
– I was just trying to recover, she says and sobs.
Emma Ribom sat alone after the race.
Take a new phrase.
– I think I do a good classical part and it feels very good at the time. I went well, but then I made a really catastrophic ski change. I lose the group that I am in and I see that it is difficult to join skateboarding, he explains and continues:
– I blew it, didn’t get into the trunk in the binding. It’s not really difficult, but it does get difficult when you walk in with a number tag. I drive badly on the skateboard part, I couldn’t stand it, he says.
“I can evaluate”
Emma Ribom, who made her World Cup debut, was still in 18th place, but she was far from her own expectations. She was pushed by the strong sprint team, despite a podium place at the World Cup, but with the intuition of being able to go skiing, she has had a good journey to the World Cup.
But when the debut occurred, it was not true.
– I don’t know why, I have to evaluate. Now I will be really happy with Ebba and Frida and a lot of fun for Charlotte, says Emma Ribom sobbing.
Are the tears for you or for them?
– Both. I expected more.
