When did you start skiing?
When I was a little kid my parents took me out in the ski tracks, but it wasn’t until I was around 8 years old I found the interest in skiing by myself. From that time, cross-country skiing has been a big part of my life.
What was your dream job when you were a child?
Like many other kids I had so many dreams and dream jobs. One of them was to become a professional skier, so nowadays I live one of the dreams I had as a kid.
What was your biggest breakthrough in your ski career?
Hmm…. It is hard to pick out what kind of moment that can be classified as my biggest breakthrough, but maybe when I skied the third leg in the relay in the World Championships in Lahti 2017 is a good one. Our team managed to win a silver medal in that relay and I was still a junior at that time. A big moment for a teenager.

I really like to spend some time with my family, my boyfriend, and my friends. Especially in combination with some really good food.

If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
If that situation would come up for me, then I would really prefer some kind of breakfast food. It is then easy to find some variation and I really love breakfast.
