Quick showers and lots of porridge.
These are two of the many things Gunde Svan is known for.
So what does it actually look like today?
Gunde Swan is one of the most successful skiers of all time. During his skiing career, he won, among other things, four Olympic golds, seven World Cup golds, and the overall World Cup five times. There were also 30 individual World Cup victories.
Swan and the shower
Today, Gunde is perhaps best known for being a popular presenter and television profile. The 61-year-old has appeared in popular TV programs such as “Prisoners at the fort”, “In the head of Gunde Svan”, and “Sweden against Norway”. He has also appeared in the entertainment programs “Master of Masters” and “Let’s Dance”. Gunde is now current with the program “Kompani Svan”.

During his skiing career, Gunde was not only known for being an incredible skier. During the periods when he trained the most, the gull took incredibly quick showers to save time. Svan then made it a challenge to constantly shower as quickly as possible. Gunde’s record for undressing, showering, drying, and dressing is one minute and 23 seconds.
Today, Svan lives a completely different, much calmer existence. The showers therefore do not go as quickly for him.
– Now it normally takes several minutes, now I’ve given up on that. The record of 1.23 minutes, I will have trouble beating that again, I think, says the skiing icon to Sportbibeln and laughs.
Gunde and porridge
The multiple Olympic gold medalist was also known to eat a lot of porridge. Gunde made several commercials for oatmeal, and in a now classic clip he is asked what is the most common prejudice about him.
– That I eat porridge every morning, Svan replies in the clip.
To the follow-up question about whether the prejudice is true, Gunde answers “yes!” before bursting into his signature laugh.

How much porridge do you eat today?
– Well, I’m probably down to two portions now, says Svan with a laugh.
Per day?
– Yes, haha, it’s in the morning.
It’s not that little!
– No, but compared to what it has been, it is little, concludes Gunde.
