For News24 tells Mikael Tornving about what it’s like to work with Gunde Svan, and also reveals what the former skier eats for breakfast…
Who is the toughest on the participants, you and Gunde?
– Me when it comes to discipline and things like that, but Gunde when it comes to the physical requirements I think.
What is the best thing about working with Gunde?
– You know he knows what needs to be done and he does everything properly. It is very safe to work with Gunde. It’s not carelessness.
What is the most difficult thing about working with Gunde?
– When I’m sitting eating breakfast when he comes in freshly showered after roller-skiing four miles at 07:00 in the morning. And not to feel like a hopeless, lazy and fat old man. That is the most difficult.
Does he eat as much porridge as you might think?
– Answer yes. I do too, but Gunde really eats oatmeal, three sandwiches I think and then tea on top of that.
