Solid Klarälvsloppet for Linnea Johansson

Linnea Johansson
Linnea Johansson had a solid Klarälvsloppet and finished fifth: “A very nice result to have with me after a tough camp week,” says the Lager 157 Ski Team athlete.

Five women were in the front of the race after 30km of the 90km Klarälvsloppet: Team Engcon’s Ida Dahl and Hanna Lodin, Team Ragde Charge’s Anikken Gjerde Alnæs and winner Jenny Larsson, and Lager 157 Ski Team’s Linnea Johansson.

The 22-year-old Johansson can reflect on a season in Ski Classics where she had her best result at Jizerská50, an 11th place. Now she had a very solid Klarälvsloppet:

“The feeling was very good; I felt strong and had fun. I think it felt easy to go along for the most part, but I really had to fight when it came to the two sprint prizes,” says Johansson to Langd.se and adds:

“I know that long races suit me well, but this is special because it is so long and flat. But we had a good cooperation in the group, which made the race not feel as long as it really is.”

In the last 10km, Jenny Larsson and Ida Dahl created a gap to the remaining trio:

“The others were stronger than me today. But finishing fifth here means a lot going into the winter season. And not least, a nice confirmation that I could keep up even after a tough camp week together with the team,” concluded Johansson.
