Tributes to Karlsson: "Incredibly Impressive"

· updated

"Not a single surprise", "Today's joy topic". National team colleagues and competitors quickly lined up to praise Frida Karlsson. The crushing victory in the World Cup premiere impressed greatly.

Here are some voices about Karlsson's somewhat phenomenal performance during the 10km in Ruka:

Ebba Andersson:

Incredibly impressive what she achieves out there today.

Emma Ribom:

So cool to see Frida. It was really today's highlight. I thought when I crossed the finish line: "1.5 minutes behind, God was it that bad?". Then I saw that she had taken it with a 46-second margin and then it felt much better.

I had a feeling that Frida would be strong today. She has been on "g". But that she would win with 46... it was still a little surprising but really cool.

Astrid Øyre Slind:

I'm not surprised because Frida is a damn good skier.

Therese Johaug:

I don't think I would have been able to beat Frida today.
