WHEN/WHERE DID YOU START CANOEING/ KAYAKING?
Began at age 9 (1995) in Norrköping, Sweden.
REASON FOR TAKING UP THE SPORT
Was doing a lot of sports at that time but followed my big brother to try
kayak. After I started to take some medals as a youth I stopped with all other
sports and focused only on kayak/canoe.
CLUB

TRAINING REGIME
I think there are several ways to train to be the best in the world. But
one thing you can't be without is a lot of training. You'll get good at
something by doing it a lot!
