VAL MÜSTAIR. Norwegian TV2 ski expert Petter Soleng Skinstad thought Ebba Andersson should consider abandoning the tour.
A kind of statement that Ebba Andersson herself does not like.
– It bothers me quite a bit when those statements come in, Andersson tells Sportbladet after another hard day at Val Müstair.
After Ebba Andersson did not do well during yesterday’s massive outing, TV2 expert Petter Soleng Skinstad thought Ebba Andersson should consider leaving the tour prematurely in the event of a further setback during the start of Sunday’s hunt.
And there was a further setback during the start of Sunday’s hunt when Andersson finished 18th, with three spots lost from the massive start.
But when the Swedish ski star gets a direct question as to whether he intends to leave the tour from the Sportbladet broadcaster, he becomes angry.
– It bothers me enough when such statements come, says Andersson and continues:
– It is not only about fighting to succeed, but you have to be able to handle that it does not always turn out the way you want. This has been the case during these three days in Switzerland for me. But I must try to reverse that trend.
“Pretty exhausting day”
However, as I said, it was again a difficult day for Ebba Andersson in Val Müstair.
After the first 1.2 kilometers, he had not entered, but lost, in Linn Svahn (then in the lead).
And dense margins continued to slowly increase.
In the end, she was more than two minutes behind the victorious Jessica Diggins.
– It was quite a tiring day even today, says Andersson.
What did not work?
– I didn’t drive fast enough and really had to struggle with my driving.
How do you feel now before moving to Toblach?
– It feels good to have a new opportunity, absolutely.
