General
MULTI-SPORT ATHLETE
He competes internationally in both goalball and Para athletics. "There will certainly be a day when I have to choose, but at the moment it seems to be fine doing both. In addition, I benefit from both. In goalball, for example, I can complement my athletics training as it involves good body control. I love goalball for the team element, for what we accomplish together. Conversely, I can feel individual satisfaction in the field of athletics, it's about the individual feeling, kind of me against the world." (gp.se, 11 Oct 2017; goteborgfriidrott.se, 15 Oct 2020)
