Yes. Goop is one of the world’s best drivers of all time. For Travmuseet.com he told the following about why it became a trot.
“My parents probably wanted me to train for something, but when I was 13 I got a pony and that became the reason why I still chose the trot. It was not an easy horse to keep up with, which became a challenge for me, who always liked challenges. I thought it was fun to drive. My competitive instinct and my feeling for animals made the choice easy”.

Yes. In an interview with The evening paper he told me that he had a tumor on his adrenal gland:
– I was told that I had a tumor on an adrenal gland and they didn’t know what it was, I was summoned to do further examinations in the middle of the French winter meeting last year.
He went on to say:
– Then the decision was made to operate on it, a rather large operation that took place immediately after the winter meeting in France last year was over. It was actually a difficult period where you didn’t know if you were sick, and that you also might not be able to talk about it because you didn’t know what it was.
What happened between Björn Goop and Linn Andersson?
Lynn Andersson was responsible for Björn Goop’s cooperative horses for many years.
In a Facebook post, Andersson stated that Goop had terminated all of her horses.
Goop commented on the incident to Trottosport, according to The Express.
– Linn has done a great job and it is really a shame for all shareholders that it has turned out like this. The fact that we would end this is not something that arose now, we settled that during a meeting already four weeks ago.

It is unclear if Goop has a wife or girlfriend at the moment. He was together with Henrietta Wirola for many years – however, it seems they are no longer together. IN The evening paper Wirola told us about their relationship, and how they found time to spend together.
– Me and Björn hang out in the car and talk. We are passionate about horses and trotting and there is nothing else for us. I try to follow the competitions a lot. But I prioritize my work before Björn’s work. But there is a lot to do at home so I usually wait for him to come home.
