Do you have a sporting background?
I have always been active in various sports since I was little but my main background is gymnastics and figure skating. I trained and competed for about 6-7 years then I went straight to figure skating and competed in that as well for about 5 years.
When, how and why did you start CrossFit?
I have always been a competitive person and when I got too old to compete in figure skating I wanted to find a new sport that I could develop and compete in. In 2011 I was introduced to CrossFit Onyx and was hooked after the first session. I competed for the first time in 2012 at the Reebok CrossFit fitness championship and have continued to compete ever since.
What are your goals in CrossFit?
In 2016 I missed out on an individual spot at Regionals with only 3 placements so 2017 is the goal to get there. This year I am also aiming for a spot at Regionals with my team Team Vagnhallen Crossfit! But my big dream is definitely to compete in the Crossfit Games before my 30th birthday!
What do you do when you're not training and competing?
I work at a printing house as an all-in-one, but mainly in post-production.
What does a typical training week look like?
Mon-Wed, Fri and Sat I train two sessions, before and after work 05.30 and 16.40 about 4 hours a day. Thursday is my active rest day which means running, rowing, swimming or cycling and stretching. Sunday is my rest day, then there is no training at all. Just lots of food, sleep in & relaxation!
What is your biggest CrossFit success?
44th Crossfit Open, Europe Region 2016
2nd Spanish Throwdown 2016
1st MK Open 2016
1st Swedish Tour 2016
Do you have any role models in sports?
Brooke Ence, an awesome crossfit athlete who inspires in many ways!
What is your biggest vice?
Hmm, fitness...
What is your favorite WOD?
DT! Fast & only barbell, the best I know!
What do you like best about CLN Athletics products?
Besides being incredibly stylish, they fit really well. I hate clothes that slide down, roll up or just get in the way when I'm working out. All CLN clothes fit in place and exactly as they should! Plus, the materials are very soft and comfortable.
What are your favorite products from CLN?
Black and black/pink tights and the "Big C" tank tops.
