Ebba Andersson recently chose to skip the World Cup in Lahti to compete in long-distance races in Ski Classics, which sparked reactions. She hopes the boundaries between different competition formats will blur more. Andersson sees a sport where the distinction between long-distance and traditional skiing is clearer than she wishes, but emphasizes that she belongs in traditional skiing.
She finds her few entries into the long-distance cup motivating and inspiring for her traditional skiing. Andersson is currently committed to skiing for several more years but may need new challenges, with long-distance races potentially being an ingredient. She believes it is important to find alternative paths to stay motivated and continue for more years.
