Truls Gisselman is one of Sweden’s new star shots in cross -country skiing.

When Calle Halfvarsson36, got sick the day before the men’s relay in the World Cup in Trondheim received the championship debut Truls Gisselman23, the message that he would get the chance. In addition, he was given the assignment to run the first stretch, with the goal of sitting past Erik Valnes back.
Truls Gisselman became known during the World Cup
Truls stood for an impressive effort on his route and was at the top for a long time, until the end of the track as he unfortunately fell and lost both time and position in the cluster.
– It will be such extreme contrast when you first feel that: “Today I have a good day and good skis. Everything matches. Today I can go really, really fast”, and also feel all the way to the end that this is a good distance. “I can really be happy with this,” and then that happens and you are deepest down that can be, he tells the Sports Bible.

Fortunately could William Poromaa24, and Edvin Anger22, ensure that Sweden still managed to take a medal, the first in eight years when it comes to a men’s relay. Many Swedes probably opened their eyes to World Cup debutant Truls Gisselman there and then. The 23-year-old from Bollnäs, who, through high school in Mora, ended up in Falun, has competed a lot in the World Cup this season. He also has a well -known girlfriend who surely recognizes from TV.
So Truls met his girlfriend Barbora
Truls is together with the Czech cross -country skier Barbora Antošová24, who, like himself, competes at the highest level. She is a distinct sprint specialist and she has competed in both Falun, Tallinn and Lahti as well as in Les Rousses, Lillehammer and Davos in the World Cup this year. Her best results came in Ruka and in Cogne, she came 22nd both times. She also competes in team sprints. Barbora was also in the World Cup and competed in the sprint, but failed to qualify for the finals.

Truls Gisselman now tells the Sports Bible how he met his girlfriend.
– Yes, but it is through skiing of course. It is starting to be two years ago now soon where we started to have some contact at competitions and yes, you have known for many years who the other person has been and so. But it wasn’t until two years ago that we started to have some contact and so it really became more and more. Finally she came and greeted here in Falun and then I was with her in the Czech Republic as well. Then it was clear, or what to say, haha. It was probably a gradual process.
Gisselman’s life together with Czech love
Living with another elite athlete can of course be challenging, especially if they compete and train in different places in the world. But right now it works very well, says Truls.
Is it good to be with another skier? Because you live the same lives but apart for most of the season.
– Yes, exactly. It is always in two ways and it is different depending on what people think. Several of my friends also think that there are advantages and disadvantages of both and. But for my part, I think it is positive that both are skiing, because it will be very easy with this with understanding, he says and continues:
– Partly that there is a lot of this with being happy to stay healthy as much as possible. You may not be able to participate in as much social events and such as a person who is not an elite athlete may not have the same understanding of.
There are many benefits to being with a skier. Especially now that both Truls and Barbora compete at the same level and are often in the same places.
– Then such a thing that you can train together sometimes and go to training camp together. After all, it is that we are seen, at least this year when I have run almost every World Cup race and she too, so then we have been able to see almost every week in principle. We have been seen quite a lot now. In this way, I do not know if we had been seen more if she had not been doing sports and had lived here as well, he says.
– I think it works very well. We may well look ahead as well. She is well excited to be even more here, so it is probably the plan a little ahead.
Good luck with career and love in the future, Truls! Hopefully the next season will be even better, although it will obviously be difficult to top that you took a World Cup medal this year.
