Appeals Disqualification Again: "I'm Damn Angry"

The ski star Ebba Andersson was disqualified after Saturday's World Cup race in Holmenkollen. Sweden's appeal was rejected, but now the national team will appeal again. When I think about the situation, I'm still just as damn angry, says Andersson.

Andersson finished third in Saturday's 20-kilometer classical style race, but was disqualified after receiving her second yellow card of the season for violating technical rules.

The day after, she came in fourth in the half-distance freestyle race.

First and foremost, I've been damn angry – when I think about the situation, I'm still just as angry, she says to Viaplay and continues:

Purely demonstratively towards myself, I stuck out here yesterday afternoon and evening, and skated a lap just to show that I still have a race to prepare for.

The form before Holmenkollen was good.

It's typical that I manage to do two stable and good races this weekend, but I'm leaving here with a DSQ (disqualification) and a fourth place. I think I deserved more than that, actually, says Andersson, who took three VM gold medals in Trondheim.

Next week, the World Cup finals await in Finnish Lahtis with the 50-kilometer race on the program.

It's lucky that there's a World Cup race left this season and hopefully use it as fuel for that race, says Ebba Andersson.
