Asthma: She believes was brought on by her years of hard training. (Info 2018)

2009
Received her first pair of skis at age two. Started in a local ski club in Fet with twin brother Marius at age of eight. Had a talent for training, and the good social environment in the club excited her. (maikencfalla.no, Oct 2021)
Started to have injuries with running sports so focused on biathlon and cross-country skiing from age 13 and then chose to move away to Hovden for a ski high school focused on cross-country skiing at age 15. Her goal was to have a chance to train with other girls in addition to her twin brother Marius, who attended the same school. (maikencfalla.no, Oct 2021)
Focused on training the right amount and at the right level of quality every single day. Feels confident that she knows what is best for her and will change the plan or rest instead of exercising if that feels right any given day. (maikencfalla.no, Oct 2021)
Winning Olympic gold at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. (olympics.com)
Enjoy what you do, constantly challenge yourself to become better and make sure to have a good life outside of skiing too. (maikencfalla.no, Oct 2021)
