Jonna Sundling has had a dream start to the new season.
She is Sweden’s best skier right now and has really found her form.
But there is one thing that everyone is wondering about, namely what she has behind one ear.
The ski season has reached its third competition weekend of the World Cup. For Jonna Sundling so far it has been a very successful start to the season.
Sundling’s success
During the premiere weekend in Ruka, she impressed with a second place in a distance race and in Norwegian Lillehammer, Jonna was completely superior in the sprint. Before the World Cup in Davos, she is therefore second in the overall World Cup and in shared leadership of the Sprint Cup, with Johanna Hagström.

When several other Swedish women have been forced to throw in the towel due to health problems, Jonna Sundling has really delivered on the ski slopes. The 29-year-old is one of Sweden’s top skiers right now and can boast an Olympic gold and four World Cup golds in sprint and sprint relay.
Jonna’s tattoo
But there is something that everyone wonders about with Jonna Sundling, namely what she has behind one ear. Now she opens up about the tattoo she got as a 20-year-old.
– It was quite impulsive actually. I felt like I wanted a tattoo, and so I did. But it was several years ago now, I think it was 2015, she says to the Norwegian site langrenn.com.

Behind her left ear she has tattooed three snow crystals. They are an expression of her personality.
– I am a December child and a child of nature. I love winter and I love snow, and snow crystals make me happy, she says in the interview and answers if it hurt.
– It wasn’t very comfortable, because the neck is quite sensitive with thin skin. But it wasn’t that dangerous either, because it didn’t take that long.
Sundling is one of the big, blue-yellow gold hopefuls ahead of the World Ski Championships in Trondheim 2025 and she looks so calm on the ski tracks. But now Jonna reveals that she is actually very nervous before competitions.
– Yes, I was extremely nervous before the sprint in Lillehammer. But I knew after the prologue there is nothing wrong with the form. In that way, sprinting is a bit special and each race has a life of its own. There are four restarts so it’s not like riding a 10 kilometer race where you start and then finish. Sprinting is mentally demanding, because the head has to be involved, she tells the ski site.
– I don’t take it for granted that I win the race just because I won the prologue by like six seconds. The race actually starts in the quarterfinals.
