"When I started high school, life became harsher. People started giving me looks and nicknames and the easiest way for me to fit in was by playing football and floorball. But it became tougher to play at a high level considering my impairment, and I instead found cycling was a great fit. After an operation, I started cycling, initially so I could get back to football as soon as possible but I had so much fun cycling, I hung up the football boots."

To compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. "The goal has always been 2024, so it's inspiring to be involved already [at the 2020 Games in Tokyo]." (sverigesradio.se, 06 Jul 2021; svt.se, 07 Jun 2021)

"I actually have two fond memories. The first thing I came to think of is when I learned to ride a bike. The physiotherapist I had when I was little said, 'You will never be able to ride a bike, your balance is too impaired due to your cerebral palsy'. It took me a week, and then I sat on the bike without support wheels. The second memory is when I put on the national team uniform for the first time. What an honour it was, and how I wanted to show my physiotherapist that I had succeeded." (bike4life.se, 08 Feb 2021)

"Since I was very young, I have always dreamed of competing in the big championships and with the right discipline, training, determination, and the right people around, anything is possible." (danielstrandberg.se, 06 Aug 2021)
