Kalla doesn't follow Johaug's example - rules out comeback

Recently, the Norwegian skiing legend Therese Johaug announced that she is making a comeback. Has this inspired Charlotte Kalla to get back on the track again? No. I'm happy to be a supporter, she says to TT.

Therese Johaug's announcement that she is resuming her career and aiming for the home World Championship in Trondheim next year did not come as a big surprise to Charlotte Kalla.

No, but I understood that it wasn't an easy decision for her. It can't have been easy, I know that it requires a lot of training to reach the level I think she wants to be at, says Kalla.

It's going to be super exciting to see the effort and I wish her all the best. She's a fantastic cross-country skier and person.

Johaug rounded off her career in 2022 and gave birth to her daughter Kristin last year. Since then, she has competed in long-distance races and in Norwegian championships, and that's when the longing for the big cross-country skiing scene came back. Charlotte Kalla also ended her career in 2022 and has also become a mother. In addition, she has competed in Stafettvasan. But following Johaug all the way and making a comeback in national team contexts is not an option, says she.

No, I haven't felt any longing for it since I put my skis on the shelf. I'm happy to be a supporter, says Kalla.
