Linn Svahn comes from a fantastic season last time.
She is finally back at the top of the world in earnest again.
Now the Swede reveals more about her personal life, aside from the ski tracks.
It was an incredibly successful season for Lynn Svahn this past winter. The Swedish 24-year-old has really had to fight his way back after having made a real breakthrough as a 20-year-old.
Svahn’s success
The sprint specialist from Lycksele had over two years ruined by injury problems and operations. For long moments, it was hardly possible to recognize her at the World Cup, but during last year’s season she got everything right and was finally able to return to the top of the world again.
The article continues below.
Svahn won his first World Cup race in over 1,000 days at the Tour de Ski and then everything unraveled. She then lined up World Cup victories during the spring and sprinted home the overall victory in the distance cup for the Norwegian arch-rival Kristine Stavå’s Ski City.
Linn’s private life
Now expectations are high for Linn Svahn ahead of the upcoming WC season, she has also never won a championship medal yet in her career. For many, the Swede is also quite secretive, so she has actively chosen not to talk about her private life.

But now she opens the door a little to the person behind the skier. Where she gets personal questions about herself, like which Olympic sport would she like to be the best at?
– So I would have liked to be good at cycling. I wish I was good at that, she tells Aftonbladet and also has to answer the ugliest thing she said during a race.
– Now it’s probably more that I just shake my head at people than that I commit so much.
Then it becomes even more personal when Svahn has to answer when she cried the very last time.
– I probably cried this summer. Sometime when I was so moved, I think. But no, I don’t want to tell you what it was about, she says to the evening newspaper and also answers what is the most disgusting thing she knows.
– Spiders are disgusting, then.
