Start:

Grew up in a sporty family in Dombas, Norway, where she was an active child. She tried different sports such as football, cross country skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding and biathlon. Started with freesking when she was about 10 years old. (johannekilli.no)

Reason:

In the beginning, she was playing around with some racing skis, but they got quickly exchanged when she saw the boy’s twin-tip skis. For one year she combined biathlon and freeskiing. After some time she started to reduce the days of biathlon and increase the days of freeskiing: "I have never regretted on my choice." (johannekilli.no)

General Interest

INJURY 'SCANDAL' IN KREISCHBERG
In Austria, Kreischberg, she almost crashed into an official who was standing in the landing area. She had to skid and brake much faster than normal to avoid a collision but in doing so, she twisted her left knee causing an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, requiring surgery. Her season was over. (nrk.no)

FILMING
Loves to compete, but she also enjoys filming and making edits. (johannekilli.no)

FUN FACT
Once held the world record at football keep-ups for girls her age when she was 12 years old (333 touches). (olympiatoppen.no)

OLYMPIC GOALS IN WRITING
Before going to PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games she put in writing what she wanted to achieve. "The Olympics have been a goal since 2015. I remember having a sheet hanging in the room with many goals, and the main goal was to get to the Olympics. When I sat down and wrote down the goals, I thought the goal of the Olympics was completely unattainable and was almost a little embarrassed to hang it up. It is strange to think back on that note, that I have actually reached that goal." (friflyt.no)

Milestones

Was third in qualifying at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, and went into the final finishing 11th in run one, second in run two, and was fifth overall.

Two top-10 finishes at the World Championships (2015, 2019) and won a silver medal at the 2014 Junior World Championships behind Briton Katie Summerhayes.

First World Cup podium was third in 2015 in Silvaplana (slopestyle), and first victory was in 2017 in Quebec City (slopestyle). Her last World Cup title was in big air in 2019 in Beijing.

Her best season to date was in 2016/17 where she was third at the X Games Aspen, second in the Overall World Cup Ranking, and won the X Games in her home country.
