She sustained the injury in 2014 when she was involved in a work-related accident while working in the military.
In an interview with SVT she has talked about the extreme pain she experiences, even when practicing her sport.
– Every time I pull the trigger, my body says: don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it. But instead you decide to pull the trigger and take the stab.
She further said that it is terribly painful when she distributes her body weight on her foot when she is going to practice shooting.
– And it’s not that it hurts less now, it’s just that I’ve learned to deal with the pain. But in the beginning I sat and cried because it hurt so much.
