The leader of the Swedish national team forced into isolation, instead of taking the start of Levi's double slalom. The bitterness of the one who could have fought once again with Vlhova and Shiffrin.

The slalom opening, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday on the Levi Black, would have been the opportunity to seize that first victory in the World Cup which was touched several times, even thrown to the winds just a few doors from the conclusion in the last appearance of the last February 16th, when Anna Swenn-Larsson seemed to be the master of the Kranjska Gora race.
Nine months later, the disappointment is even greater than that day for the home captain Sweden, forced to miss Levi's appointment (and certainly also the parallel of Lech / Zuers, where she could have done just as well given her quality in discipline) for the positivity of Christian Thoma who led the Finnish authorities to isolate the entire Scandinavian team for a week.
The solidarity of her colleagues arrived immediately, but also strong words, first of all those of Federica Brignone (among other excellent friends of Swenn-Larsson), yet Anna is unable to give herself peace a few hours after that race that was waiting , in fact, since that day in Kranjska Gora. "I'm sad, I will not compete in Levi even though in six days I had four tests all negative at Covid-19, the last one today - the vice world slalom champion said on social media - I understand the situation that it's serious and we all have to be careful, but I just think the rules need to be standardized.
I was so excited to compete and feel butterflies in my stomach - continues the Swede - I'm always happy, motivated and with a lot of energy, but now I feel empty. I'm just happy to have the best team members I can ask for with me ”.
