Started training at age 12 against his father's wishes. "It was almost over my dead body to let them into the toboggan world," Hans said. "I know what a hard job it is to be a toboggan rider and how much it requires of the riders themselves and of the surroundings. So I was against in the beginning. But once we came [to Lillehammer's Olympic track] and I saw how happy they looked, I could not say no." (sverigesradio.se, 27 Feb 2016)
"It's speed and adrenaline. Tons of adrenaline." (sverigesradio.se, 27 Feb 2016)
The Swedish team has been training with the Austrian national team since the 2018/19 season. (swesliding.se, 20 Aug 2020)
