Svensk stjerne om fall: Mentale sperre

The Swedish cross-country skiing sensation Ebba Andersson made an involuntary somersault with skis on during the relay in Val di Fiemme where Norway secured gold. The Swedish favorites had to settle for silver. Subsequently, Andersson fell again during the same relay and once more during the 50-kilometer race in Holmenkollen. turconews.click

The apparent cause – a painful knee – is a problem that won't let go. 'It's a bit unpredictable,' says the veteran to news agency TT. During the summer, Andersson has done everything she can to gain control of the problems before the new season. 'Above all, I have now tried to let go of the mental barriers that kept appearing at the end of last season,' continues the star, who is the reigning world champion in skiathlon and 10 kilometers.
