The tug-of-war saved Jessica – now she takes the sport to Klippan

Jessica Granqvist lives in Kungsbacka, but boyfriend Thomas Tornevall and his family have brought her to Klippan. This autumn she is moving down and she wants to take the tug-of-war with her. She is already starting a new club. During the opening weekend, family members had broken up, but she hopes to get more members together in the future.

– It’s heavy and shitty, but it’s a lot about the fact that it’s a team sport. You develop all the time, she says.

Previously burned out

Jessica Granqvist had previously suffered from illness and was burnt out. But tug-of-war became her way back to health and work. In 2016, her oldest daughter had started tug-of-war and a few months later she tried the sport herself and has been hooked ever since.

– After two months, everything started to sharpen up. Eventually I was able to start working as well. Exercise does a lot for mental and physical well-being, says Jessica Granqvist.
