Anette Norberg’s strong words go straight to the heart – the Olympic hero opens up about the severe illness: “It was terrible”

Anette Norberg suffered from cancer in 2013.
Today, the curling icon is healthy, but it’s still something that’s hard to look back on.
– You’d rather just take an eraser and erase that time, says Anette to Sportbibeln.

Annette Norberg is one of Sweden’s best curling players of all time, and is one of the world’s most meritorious curlers ever. During her 27-year-long career, she won two Olympic golds, nine WC medals of which three were gold, and twelve EC medals of which seven were gold.

Anette’s struggle

The last title was the WC gold in 2011. In the spring of 2013, Norberg then announced that she is ending her professional career, although she still plays a lot of curling at a lower level. Shortly thereafter, she participated in TV4’s Let’s Dance. In 2015, the next television program awaited, in the form of SVT’s Mästarnas Mästare. Then Anette revealed that she had been affected by cancer and for some time had gone through cancer treatment.

The time in the Master of Masters was fun, but tough.
– It was quite close to my cancer. In that program, it was the first time that I talked about it in public. I was far from a sensible physical shape when I did the Masters, Anette tells Sportbibeln.

She received the cancer diagnosis in 2013.
– It was right there after I had done Let’s Dance, that’s why it’s very easy to remember.
