Two-time Olympic champion has indeed closed the 10 km classic technique on Sunday 75th of 79 participants, with a lead of over four minutes from Marit Bjørgen. To alarm, even more than the result itself, apparently away from the athlete's standards, however, are the sensations felt in the race.
"I tried to find my pace right away, but after two kilometers I could not take anymore," said Kalla. "I felt no energy, nothing worked, and I do not know why. There is something wrong with my body, we will have to do the analysis. I've never had anything like it. "
In the end, the malaise has been such as to induce a physician of Swedish staff waiting for her at the finish line with first aid material.
As announced after the race, Kalla will undergo several tests, including morning and Wednesday afternoon, to identify the origins of the problem.
