Skavlan Gets Blunt Response from Swedish Ski Star

During an appearance on Fredrik Skavlan's show, Andersson reacted strongly when the host asked if she was happy that Karlsson wasn't competing in the 15km cross-country race at the Olympics, which Andersson won. "I got that question at a press conference before the race, and I thought it was the most idiotic question that could have been asked," Andersson stated.

Andersson clarified that she would have welcomed Karlsson as a competitor, emphasizing that elite sports is about challenges. "When Frida is at the starting line, you get the biggest challenge," she said. Skavlan quickly apologized to laughter and applause from the audience. Both athletes had successful Olympics, with Andersson winning one gold and three silver medals, while Karlsson took home two gold and one silver.
