GRADUATION
In 2019 he graduated from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC, United States of America. He applied for a master's degree in business analytics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Swimming is definitely a year-round, all-time sport. The rest of the world is still working hard, and they don't care that I'm graduating. Like most people in Denmark, I only knew about the Ivy League schools in terms of academics. Most people don't know about intercollegiate athletics and how competitive it is."
