Charlotte Kalla breaks with length skidlandslagets training group next season.
Big Star will train on their own before the World Cup next year.
– I want to try something new in my career, says Kalla in a press release.
– we need to look at how we can resolve it in the best way, says coach Rikard Grip.
Petter Northug has done it before: chosen to break with their country kind of training group. Now the Charlotte Kalla, who had a season full of setbacks and disappointments, chosen to do the same.
Cold confirmed the decision in a press release.
– 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 set-up I have strong faith in. I think that the result of the cooperation with my personal trainer Magnus Ingesson will be better if we can continuously meet for monitoring, planning and engineering work, says Kalla.
Charlotte Kalla leave the national team
Length manager Johan Sares admits he would rather have seen that call remained.
– Of course, we had liked to have Charlotte with the national team’s training group, but we understand her choice and supports her in that effort, she knows herself that she wants to do. Everyone wants a Charlotte Kalla in the best shape for the winter and it is a private arrangement that is required, we only respect she so chooses. Together we will sell us expensive in Lahti says Sares.
“Are we internally”
Head coach Rikard Grip hymlar nor with their disappointment.
– I respect her decision, then it is naturally sad that she will not be with. But I have to say the respect and understanding that she wants to try something new.
Does she stated specific reasons for why she chose this?
– It’s about to try something new, get new energy and get closer to their coach.
Have you tried to argue your case, persuade her?
– It’s been a good dialogue between Charlotte and Swedish Ski Federation. Exactly what we’ve talked about, I will not go into. It keeps us internally. This is the decision that Charlotte has chosen to take. Everything has proceeded in good spirit.
– The most important thing is that Charlotte has the motivation and drive. What avenues you choose to go, it is difficult to judge about. Now she has chosen this path.
How will your cooperation look like in the future?
– All the details we need to sit down calmly and talk about. We have a good intention to have a good dialogue. Charlotte will be with us in the winter, we need to look at how we solve it in the best way. But I can not answer exactly how it will look.
Will be meeting with agent
Charlotte Kalla agent Keith Karlsson could during Tuesday morning not comment on how the new setup should look like or financed.
– We’ll have a meeting tomorrow. I, Charlotte and Magnus (Ingesson) where we will discuss the entire set.
