General Interest

CHANGE OF NATION
Was born in Sweden with a Swedish mother and German father but grew up ski racing in Sweden and, for a short time, Switzerland. She moved to Germany to attend school and in 2020, at the age of 16, she applied for a change of nationality from Sweden to Germany. The International Ski Federation granted the change in October 2020 (when she was still 16). The International Olympic Committee granted the change in November 2021 (just prior to her 18th birthday), waiving the three-year waiting period based on the approval of the international sports federation and the two national Olympic committees.
