After failure season: Kalla withdraws from the Swedish national team – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): Charlotte Kalla announced a brutal assessment of the debacle in the championship-free season we have just concluded.

Two podiums at the start of the season and fifth overall in the World Cup was a huge letdown in a season Kalla had anticipated challenge Therese Johaug the slot.

The announced evaluation is now complete and Kalla have come to the same conclusion as Petter Northug did in his time here at home. The Swedish cross-country star chooses to stand outside the national team’s training group towards Championships in Lahti February.

– I want to try something new in my career. After ten years in the national team I am now ready to make changes and follow a program I strongly believe. I believe that the result of collaboration with my personal trainer Magnus Ingesson will be better if we can continuously taken to follow me up, plan and work on my technique, said Kalla in a press release from the Swedish Ski Federation.

Thus discards she has coach Rikard Grips program, where he acquired the Norwegian Ole Morten Iversen to train the Swedish ladies.

Kalla meets great understanding for the choice of cross-country manager Johan Sares in associated.

– Of course we would welcome Charlotte with the national team’s training group, but we understand her choice and supports her in the commitment she feels she must do. Everyone wants Charlotte Kalla in its best shape for the winter, and there is a separate program that is required to get to it, we just have to respect that she chose it. Together we will sell us expensive in Lahti, says Sares in the same press release.
