1. What is your favorite thing about Nordic Combined?
My favorite thing about Nordic Combined is that it is a very diverse sport. You have to combine two completely different sports and have to find the perfect balance between them. I also like that we can travel around the world and that I can meet many different girls from other nations. I am really happy that we are making such good progress and having more and more competitions.

2. Who is your role model in sport and why?
I don´t have any role models in particular, but I like to watch all the athletes compete and achieve their dreams. Watching them, gives me even more motivation to train harder so that I can achieve my own goals.

3. To relax after a long training day, what is your favorite movie/series to watch?
I have to admit that I sometimes watch one and the same series too often. My all-time favorite is “Friends”, which I can watch over and over again without getting bored. I also enjoy “The Big Bang Theory”, “How I met your mother” and other funny series, as well as movies when there’s a good one on.
