General Interest

SKATING FAMILY
Both his parents are figure skating coaches and his brother is an elite skater. "We decided not to talk much about figure skating at home, because it would be terrible and not interesting if there is figure skating from the morning to the night." (isu.org, 18 May 2021)

OLYMPIC QUALIFYING
Had to fight for his Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games spot as the Swedish National Olympic Committee set a minimum score equivalent to eighth place at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden (258.45 points). His personal best score was 218.07 points, achieved at the 2021 Nebelhorn Trophy. (isu.org, 27 Aug 2021). Eventually he was selected for Beijing without having achieved the score through the so called "future criteria". "My dreams come true" is my first thought. Otherwise, it's hard to describe how much I'm looking forward to competing at the Olympics. This is what I have been training for, every day for 19 years. I don't think I've really grasped that it's true. The Olympics have always been my biggest goal." (skatesweden, Jan 2022)

COVID-19
Tested positive for COVID-19 at the 2022 European Championship before the short programme and was quarantined in the hotel and unable to compete. (skatesweden.se, Jan 2022)

RUSSIAN HERITAGE
His parents are immigrants from Russian Federation who moved to Sweden to work as figure skating coaches. (isu.org, 18 May 2021)
