Möregårdh in the Olympics

In addition, Truls helped write new Swedish sports history when Sweden made it to the very first Olympic team final ever. Both times, however, it was Olympic silver, but the Swedish table tennis men really leave Paris as blue and yellow heroes.
Trul’s money dream
The great success in the Olympics seems to give Möregårdh a financial boost and he himself also admits his great interest in money, especially when it comes to saving.
– I manage my money quite well. But I love spending money on things I’ve always dreamed of. Like traveling or if I’m going to do something with friends, then I don’t think much about the money. Then it can cost whatever it wants, it will be worth it going forward, says Truls in the Avanza podcast.

The Olympic hero in table tennis also has a clear money dream if he were to become financially independent from his sporting successes.
– It would be to be able to buy a fillet of beef without feeling bad. That maybe you don’t have to think about what you can afford to eat every day in order to make everyday life work, says Möregårdh in the podcast.
– If I want to eat a nice steak on a Tuesday or a Saturday, I should be able to do that. It can be seen as a small thing but not many people can do it.
The 22-year-old, who is a master at saving, also gives tips on how to keep costs down in everyday life.
– It’s fun to go and have a coffee in town, but it’s incredibly expensive now. Then it’s probably better to make a jug at home and save that way, he says in the interview.
