Start:

A teacher took her class to Sundbybergs CK on a Saturday in 1999. Two years later she was the only one from that class still playing. (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Reason:

“I love curling because it’s individual. You have to do your own thing but in combination with other people on a team. The synergy of being four great individuals doing it together is something I love.” (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Ambition:

“I feel like I’m in a place where I’m super present, just being here and now, but I’m also seeing a future where I’m focusing a bit more on the family, maybe having more kids. But I still see those ambitions including curling, in some way.” (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Training:

Trains with teammate Anna Hasselborg on ice every weekday morning, followed by gym training (strength and cardio) each afternoon. Team training is once a week in Stockholm. She rests on weekends.

Memorable:

Winning gold at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Influence:

Her skip, Anna Hasselborg (SWE). “Me and Anna have been challenging and pushing each other for so many years. We make each other better.” (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Ritual:

“I hate superstitions so much. If I’m thinking a thought that is superstitious, then I’m doing the opposite. So maybe that is a superstition too!” (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Philosophy:

“It’s important to make the journey matter, to have a lot of fun doing the best you can so that you really feel that it’s worth it, winning or losing.” (Athlete, 19 Oct 2021)

Award:

Swedish Sports Awards Team of the Year (2020)
