1. What do you like most about Nordic Combined?
I think that the best thing about being a Nordic combined athlete is the challenge that we have to face every day. Being able to combine two totally different disciplines in the best way, and consequently also having the opportunity to do many different workouts.
2. One athlete (no matter if male/female, active/retired) you’d love to do a final sprint against?
I think it would be funny to do a final sprint against Jessica Diggins.
3. Do you prefer competing in Summer or Winter and why?
I prefer to compete in winter, for two reasons: One is that I am a lover of cold and snow, so in summer when it is too hot it is always a pain for me (laughs). And two, because most our competitions are in winter, and competing is what makes me happy.
