Calle Halfvarsson’s beautiful words about the sudden success – the explanation for the big transformation: “A new Calle”

Calle Halfvarsson is successful.
The explanation?
Little Casper, who made him “a new Calle”.
– As long as he’s fine, I’m fine. Then I shit on the cross-country skis.

Calle Halfvarsson has always had the capacity and potential to challenge the world’s best. But the last few years have mostly been about bad luck, injuries, illnesses and various anger. Halfvarsson has had difficulty living up to his potential, but this year it looks different.

Calle’s nice words

Halfvarsson looks very strong and has already achieved several fine results. He would have taken a podium in the Straight if it wasn’t for being off the track for a while, which led to him being washed. Calle Halfvarsson has always had a winner’s skull beyond the ordinary, and it is easy to imagine that he reacted to the whole thing with madness.

But it really wasn’t like that. Halfvarsson was disappointed, but…

– Then I got some pictures of Casper from Isabell, then I was happy again, says Calle to VG.

Casper is Calle Halfvarsson’s almost six-month-old baby. Halfvarsson believes that he meant an enormous amount to him.

– When I got to be with him late on Monday, everything was forgotten. Then I shit on the cross-country skis. That’s probably what makes me so relaxed this year, he says.

“A New Person”

Calle Halfvarsson is a new version of himself, many attest to that. He rides with a different calmness, and it is already paying off.

– We all see it. He beams and bubbles. He is a new person. He is positive and optimistic. He has gained perspective, it’s fun to see, says Frida Karlsson.

Calle agrees:

– He is the most important thing now, as long as he is fine at home, I am fine.
