Told her parents at age three she wanted to be a biathlete and began competing in 2006. Her father built a biathlon course on a plot at her home in Aamot when she was 12-years-old. (skisport.no, Apr 2021)
"[My parents] have both been very active, so it was perhaps not so strange that I was bitten." (skisport.no, Apr 2021)
Competing at her first World Championships in 2021 (Pokljuka) and was part of the gold medal relay team. "This was well above my expectations. I was not even sure I would be part of the team, but I got to compete in all of the four individual events, as well as the relay event. And that went very well. It was satisfying, fun, and I think I also surpassed the expectations of my teammates." (nammo.com, Mar 2021)
"Biathlon is a sport where steadily improving small details is very important. Margins are small, so we need to work intensively on details." (nammo.com, Mar 2021)
