The Swedish skiing stars William Poromaa and Frida Karlsson was for a long time one of Swedish sports’ most talked about love couple. First, it was Frida who had her big breakthrough already as a teenager when she made a big success during the 2019 World Ski Championships in Seefeld.

Then it was time for boyfriend William to make a serious breakthrough and during last year’s season he exceeded all expectations by taking Sweden’s first WC medal on the men’s side after many years of disappointment. Poromaa struck with WC bronze in the final five miles after a sprint battle with his teammate Calle Halfvarsson.
