Skavlan Called Out for 'Idiotic' Question to Andersson

During an appearance on Fredrik Skavlan's show, Andersson was asked if she was glad Karlsson wasn't competing in the 50km Olympic race due to illness. Andersson, who won gold and three silver medals at the Olympics, quickly dismissed the question as 'the most idiotic' she had ever received.

'Man må forstå at eliteidrett handler om utfordringer, og når Frida er på startstreken, får man den største utfordringen,' Andersson said, emphasizing that elite sports is about challenges and that Karlsson would have provided the toughest competition. Karlsson, who won two gold and one silver at the same Olympics, had to withdraw from the race due to illness. Skavlan later apologized for the question.
