Frida Carlson will be withdrawing from some World Cup competitions this winter and focusing entirely on the restroom.
Although there is a high chance of achieving overall victory.
If the World Cup was important, I wouldn’t have chosen to participate. The skate star says this year’s toilet has the most stomach tickles.
This winter his Frida Carlson An extra big chance to win the World Cup overall because Norway’s dominant Therese Johaug has retired.
But Carlson will be giving up several World Cup weekends in order to get the best possible preparation for the restroom in Blanica. This is despite the fact that the new points rules mean that it is extremely important to go to many competitions in order to win the World Cup overall. The top 50 points you get, were previously 30.
I’m not sure
Honestly, I don’t have a good understanding of the new rules because that’s not my goal this winter. I will withdraw from the competitions. If the World Cup was important, I wouldn’t choose them. I would see the competitions (at the World Cup) as a step towards the World Cup, says Carlson, and continues:
Next year without a championship. Then there will be a full focus on the World Cup. But this year, it was the toilet that stings the most in the stomach. I would love to have a goal like this.
She wants to ride all the toilet races except for the sprint.
Frida Carlson tells us she hasn’t planned to compete, but already reports that there are many indications that she will be riding the Tour de Ski at the end of the year.
– I’m still keen on it. I think it’s good timing. She says you are getting an internship after that.
Enjoy the decision
Frida Carlson withdrew from the national team along with her friend and enemy star Maja Dalqvist. Together, they make their investment themselves during the pre-season.
It is noticeable that Carlson enjoys one hundred percent control over his ski life. From now until the World Cup in February.
TT: Are you feeling better now that you can decide the whole setup and can be yourself outside the national team?
– I’ve always been myself. I was a bit limited in some of the camps. Before, there was a camp for one week a month. You have to go there (at the national team camp) and then go home and make the most of the other three weeks of the month. This is where I know you have the most development. Now I have the time and space to do other things, says Frida Carlson, who spent most of the summer with her parents in Sollefteå.
– I like here and the apartment can be closed in the summer. But I’ll be back soon, says Carlson.
“It’s not unimportant”
TT: How does it work to be in charge of planning on your own?
– Bear (Nelson, coach) thinks we’re cool and we go jumping. It should also be fun. I think training gives more after that. It doesn’t matter whether you do it exactly or exactly and it’s set up.
