FAMILY INSPIRATION
When she was at age eight her elder sister was troubled with drug addiction. She says the way her parents managed to take care of her and her sister through the situation has shaped her into a better athlete. "It was like pure hell. And then our parents became the strongest, but they had to go through so much and fight so hard. I saw the frustration and how they always tried to maintain some kind of facade. This is probably why I have always wanted to be perfect." (aftonbladet.se, 19 Aug 2019)
