Soon a new year is here...

I tried my new boots yesterday on ice, it was not perfect but we will see how that goes...

Hopefully it goes well.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

And I hope 2011 will bring alot of good things.

For me, I hope I will be able skate well and carry on with my goals!

Chrismas!

Marry Chrismas to you all:) Here in Sweden we have enough snow for a white Chrismas.

My injury is still with me but I will soon try to go on ice again.

My plan for these season is alittle different as I am not skating the Europeans in Januari.

I have to take care of my injury before I can be back on normal training schedule.

I just have to be patient with the situation and I think I am doing a good job with that.

Still injured.....

After I came back from USA, I have been doing rehab traning to get back on ice.

It will take a while before I am able to train normal again, but that wait is worth it.

For 1 year I have had pain on traning and competitions. It is about time to fix the injury I am struggling with. I hope to be back on ice and competition soon.

Going back home....

After the World Cup in Montreal 1 month ago, I went to Salt Lake City to prepair for WC 3-4. After a while here in Salt Lake City I am having more problems with my injury again. It has been decided that I need to go home fore recovery and get ready for other competitions later in the season. I will be back skating good again. It is just going to take a longer time than I have planed.

Will see..........

Sunday was good racing!

Finally I could skate better and make it to the next round on the repecharge 1500m yesterday. I was in the repecharge a final:) and was 3 places away from the World Cup top 18 spot. I am happy I could skate OK with my injury. I feel I will be back stronger!:)

I will now be in Salt Lake City for training camp and we will see if I will fly over in December to the Asia World Cups.

Sunday Repecharge

Yesterday on the 1500m I fell and smash in to the borads with head first, I am ok. Just a little stiff.

Today I am getting slowly back in shape for competition. The injury is less irritating and finally I can start fokus on racing instead.

Tomorrow will be 1500m repecharge and I am looking forward to it.

Tomorrow Repacharge 1000m

I have now skated my first 1000m race and I am slowly comming back from my injury. So it is looking better.

In some hours I will skate 1500m.

After that I will have a quick stop at home and back up in the air again, this time to Montreal.

New Season and new boots

Finally I got my boots before the competition season starts. I got new boots last december and they have been difficult to skate on, so me and Mathieu Turcotte at Apex have changed them alot and hopefully I can skate well with these new boots. I am looking forward to the evning training today, as I am going to try them on.

Scholarship!!!

On friday I was informed that I have got a Scholarship and I am very honored.
This Scholarship is for Elit Athletes that is taking courses at University, while training and competing on high level.
This will help me buy my new skates (that is comming in one week) and other resources that I really need for my development.
I am very happy that I got these news, after a long summer with injuries.
I feel alot better now and I am sure that I will do well again in the near future:)

Summer has gone too fast...

In one month my competition season is on. My first competition will be in Milano and is called "Star Class".

I wish the summer was longer. But I am excited to start competing again. I started university this week, so I have alot on my daily schulde right now.

Summer camp is comming up!

Next week the training camp in Mora starts.
This is my first training camp this season and I hope it will be good.
I can´t wait to be more on ice, I miss it!
I have done a lot of "dryland", cause I have not been able to skate on ice.

I have changed my blog a little, and the counter has started from zero.

European Championship in Malmö Januari 2013

In the begining of this week, the news was out, the Swedish Federation got the European Championship in Januari 2013.
I look forward to skate European Championship in my own home town.

I have now been in Norway for work and training for some weeks.
It is good to be back home again.

In the begining of August there is a national skating camp in Mora, Sweden.

Testing something new

The old blog needed a face lift so I am testing some new colors, layouts and other new things that I will fix later on.

I have been training light these first weeks and can´t wait to get on ice in August. Summer is soon here in Sweden and I will fly over to Norway soon for a traning camp.

Season 2010-2011!

Tomorrow I will start my training, back home in Sweden. I have had a nice vacation and I would like to thank everyone who has supported me though last season. It is a new season with new possibilities and I am looking forward to that.

The first Would Cup will go in Asia in October. I will be at some training camps before start of the season.

Resting time!!!

After a really long training and competition season I finally get a little rest. In week 16 I am back for training again:)

The end of season...

This is the last week I will be on ice before I will take a break from training:) and I am already excited for next season. It has been a really long season, my hardest and longest season.
I have Swedish National Championship this weekend.

Thanks for this season and carry on writing comments on my blogg:)

World Championship in Sofia

It is the end of the season and tomorrow I start with 1500m, saturday 500m and 1000m on sunday.

European Championship

This weekend I was competing again after 2 months competition brake. I was 13th on 1500m 20 on 500m and 19th on 1000m. Overall I was 18.

I did not have that little extra that I normally have, but I am happy for the 1500m.

Below you can see the results from the weekends competition

Finally I have an answer

I have not been writing on my blogg for 2 months now, I know a lot of people would like me to write. But I found that I did not want to write anthing until I got the final answer about the Olympics.
Now I got the answer from the Swedish Olympic Commitée that they are not sending me to the Olympics.

I did not make the goals that was set from the SOC, but I met up with the international demands set by ISU to compete at the Olympics and that is big!! I am proud to have made that spot for the Olympics. 2 months ago I was looking strong and I dont see why that would not happen again. I beleive it can happen!

I think in one way that not sending me to the Olympics was not positiv.
My goal is Sotji 2014 Olympics and Vancover would be a very important experience to learn from. I am getting better, stronger, faster and it will not be long until I can show that, in results as well.

I am not giving up and I am going to continue to follow my dreams and goals, and still be proud for what I have done in the past and what I want to do in the future.

"If you never take a chance, then you will never know if that chance was worth to take."

I find in some situations chances needs to be taken.

I would like to specially thank my parents for supporting me in many ways and also friends and others in my family. I am very thankfull to have so kind and supportive people around me.
Thank you!!!
