When the Norwegian national anthem silenced and Therese Johaug directed at the audience stood bronze medalist Charlotte Kalla left with looking towards the flags.
Here at the awards ceremony in Falun Saturday night decided the ski star – Today, the Swedish flag go out on top.
– I have the opportunity to do a good race, says World Cup hope.
Sometimes a picture says a thousand words. This picture does.
It was taken at the main square in Falun on Saturday. After the Norwegian national anthem faded out turned victories before Therese Johaug and runner-Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen towards the audience and cheered.
But Charlotte stood for half a minute. With eyes fixed on the flags.
Then she smiles, she has decided to go for something, and turns around to face the audience.
The big golden opportunity
Did you think that the flag would be higher on Tuesday?
– Maybe it ….
Charlotte Kalla would never describe himself as a gold hope. She would never say that she has decided. She does not speak in those terms.
But yesterday she prepared himself to run for gold.
She did it by running the course and Sports blade was out in the track during her last training .
The forest in the killer hill looks on Monday, slightly scruffy after this weekend’s audience celebration.
It notes, of course, not Charlotte Kalla.
Her focus is on the final preparations for Tuesday’s 10 km free, Charlotte Kalla golden chance.
“Go out and War”
The slopes where Therese Johaug fielded blow on Saturday makes Charlotte Kalla now an increase in speed.
She feeds, press in second gear and pedaling uphill until the coach Magnus Ingesson crying stops.
She knows that today she is alone against the clock.
The 27-year-old is also nice aware that 10 km freestyle is her distance. She won the 2010 Olympics, she outclassed the Norwegians on the mile last weekend in Östersund.
– It means a lot. It feels like I have the world’s opportunity there to do a good race, says Charlotte Kalla.
It will cost and to manage the pain, Charlotte Kalla to divide the space into small parts.
– I’ll just go out and war, it will hurt, says Charlotte Kalla.
Gold discussions surrounding her.
And inside the Charlotte Kalla decided.
Charlotte Kalla, Sweden
When everything is correct, there is little that can stop the Swedish star. An impediment to call now? The loose snow on the tracks. The disadvantage of Charlotte.

“She leaps up the killer hill,” said Charlotte Kalla. The Norwegian was extremely relaxed yesterday.

Can be challenging, but the form has not been quite the cannon types neither of Östersund here.
10 km freestyle, ladies
The course is based on two loops five kilometers on the red path and five kilometers on the blue path with small and big killer hill.
Height difference on the final round is 84 meters. And it’s not just the hill that is demanding, there are parties where you have to press and hold good speed on the third gear.
On the way out of the stadium are also parties to work on during the two yards. Here it is tough but you have to be in and work on third gear. Something Charlotte Kalla is very adept at.
“It’s racers with high capacity that will be far ahead. It is a sucking path. Just getting the 10 kilometers will take its toll. It are persistent work that will weed out the racers for racers, “said Charlotte Kalla.
Perform run after murdering the hill does not give much room to rest, here is to be active, work and keep momentum. A key may be gaining momentum position early.
