& Ldquo; & I was the igrave; in Turkey in 2010 when the championships were awarded to Falun. It seems so long ago, but now they are finally becoming reality & agrave; & rdquo; says Kalla.
The Swedish team is training in Torsby and Charlotte Kalla & egrave; very satisfied with how things are going, declaring in exactly the condition it was thought she would be at this time of the season.
What & egrave; your best memory of the season? - I am reminded often of the relay. But I have great memories of all the Olympic Games. E & rsquo; was a fantastic feeling to be l & igrave; in a cos & igrave; good condition of the form and have won my first individual medal from the 2010 Vancouver Apart from Sochi, I have fond memories of the 10km classic technique of Lillehammer: I was leading after the first lap, I could not even believe how much disadvantage they had some of my opponents. I felt like all my energy was going exactly where I wanted to, I could ski relaxed but at the same time pushing to the maximum, an amazing feeling.
How & egrave; was easy to recharge after a successful Olympic season? & nbsp; Not egrave &; was cos & igrave; easy after the & rsquo; last season. I faced new challenges, there have been many requests of all kinds, and I have declined due to many pi & ugrave; cjhe in the past. In April and May, c & rsquo; were other things I undertook my time, but I accepted the current situation and work from that base. Lately my workout & egrave; went very well.
Did you make any changes for this season? I want to continue to improve and are very motivated to do so at any cost. I collected a lot of experiences, but I also know that there are things I can do better. From a technical point of view I want to find the key to ski in a pi & ugrave; effective. To do so, & will have ograve; much skiing on snow. Roller skis are a good workout but they are not the same thing, you always have a good drive and a different balance. That is why & egrave; I am doing so to ski on snow all the & rsquo; year. Not avr & ograve; long pauses between a training camp and l & rsquo; another during the summer months. Pi & ugrave; do something in practice, pi & ugrave; best to do it!
& Nbsp; Charlotte Now you are getting ready for the season in which we are the world championships at home. I like to race in Falun, l & rsquo; & igrave the atmosphere; & Egrave; Special. E & rsquo; nice to race on home snow and feel the support of the public. E & rsquo; now very obvious that we Championships in Falun. For example, this morning when I was skiing uphill Tosseberg, I knew that the vertical drop that was covering it would have been important in Falun.
The world championships begin Feb. 18, but everything indicates that you race in Falun & agrave gi; a month before in the Scandinavian Cup races to be held on the same course. Sar & agrave; a fantastic opportunity & agrave; in advance to compete on routes on which it will play the World Cup. It will not be agrave &; easy to skip these races. (In quest & rsquo; perspective, the Kalla has decided to skip the Tour de Ski to prepare for the World Cup, ed)
What are your goals for the World Falun? I hope everything goes well. But I will not speak of any objective of the coin, I prefer to keep them for me.
