The Swede has made a success during the debut season in Långlopp and has already taken two pallet seats. However, boyfriend Emil recognizes the tough time that has been.
– Stina and I have not been seen since New Year and I do not know when we will be seen next time either. It will probably not be until after a possible World Cup or European Championships. It is many weeks and very busy, he tells Expressen.
The big reason is that they compete in two different sports nowadays and thus are in different locations during the winter.
– That’s what is the worst thing about being an elite athlete, you are very much from home. We have been to various competitions all January, he tells the evening newspaper.
– It’s something you get to learn to work with. It will be a lot of telephone time. But we have full understanding of hiking, we each make their efforts on each sport. And it will be quality time once you are seen, and hopefully we will have it for the rest of our lives.
