The new Olympic champion Jonna Sundling had more than the usual questions she had to answer after her dominant victory in the women’s cross-country sprint. Meanwhile, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson failed to contact her by phone after the race.
The 27-year-old reigning world champion beat the competition to bring Sweden’s first medal at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, and was surprised to learn that comes a call from Magdalena Andersson.
“Oh well, that’s fun and an honor for me”, said Jonna Sundling, looking both excited and slightly surprised.
The team spokesman said Magdalena Andersson was trying to contact her and could cut off media questions. The Swedish prime minister has been as successful in her attempts to contact Jonna Sundling as her sprint rivals.
“Obviously I feel great, a little tired, but incredibly happy and proud of my performance. I was concentrating as much as possible, but I felt very confident to have three Swedes in the final and to compete together”, said Jonna Sundling. “I heard afterward that we are in a row (as a leading trio during the competition) and I thought, wow, this is so cool! “, Said the champion.
