Monday, September 16, 2002 Interview with the champHere is a quick translation of the video interview with the Swedish classic champion, Niclas Jonasson. It touches on a couple of subjects I've written about in the last few months: work stress and terrain in Switzerland.Does it feel good to be back on top after a tough spring? Yes, it feels very good to show that I can be good. I’ve had a really good summer of training. It feels good to show that I can be best when it counts. Can you tell us about why it didn’t go so well in the spring? Well, I changed jobs in the winter, so I didn’t train as much as usual. I was working full-time until the summer. So, I’ve been a bit stressed – haven’t been in balance. But now I’ve had a good summer of training. I’m working less [than full-time]. I’ve got a good balance again. I was able to have success this weekend. It feels good. Was it a perfect race? You were about a minute ahead of Johan Ivarsson. I had one little mistake, but otherwise I think it went very well. It felt good – both technically and physically. I’m very satisfied. You’re not on the team to the European Champs in Hungary, is next year’s WOC the goal? Yes. Today’s race shows me that my training plan works. I got a lot of good information from this race. I understand you liked it in Switzerland, you were there for a training camp with the national team. Yes. I think [the Swiss terrain] will suit me well – a lot of tempo changes and rather tough running. I hope everything will go well next year. posted by Michael | 7:52 PM
