I would like to thank some of those who made it possible. Thanks SweCycling and particularly great Lena. Thanks POC for helmet and racing apparel. Thanks SKF for fast bearings. Thanks Sportson for mechanical assistance. Thanks dad, Eva, Per and Inger who travelled around half the globe to cheer in Rio. Thanks to Michael and my wonderful colleagues in the national team. Thank Swedish Paralympic Committee. Thank you mom. Thanks to the world’s best Klara.

…and thanks to all of you who cheered from home!

Second and last race in Rio – road race 45 km. Felt great and was in the bronze position with 200 meters left. In the moment after that, the dream of a medal vanished.

Too close.

Time trial in Rio finished. Felt awesome but had a mechanical problem and had to stop after the start and then ride the whole race in the heaviest gear without being able to switch.

Pushed hard and felt like a strongman. Ended up 4th! FOURTH PLACE! Despite riding single speed heaviest gear!

The international season started with a Euro Cup in Cologne, Germany where I placed no 1 in both the time trial and road race. Very happy about that! Then we went to Ostend, Belgium for the road race. Placed 5th in both time trial and the road race. Decent result considering the time of season. Next up will be the swedish internationals and then the World Cup in the Basque Country.

I recently got nominated to a fine award from Swedish Radio called “Årets Stjärnskott”. Each year the nominate the fastest rising stars in swedish parasport. Today it got official that I did win this award! This has gotten coverage in all SR:s radio stations so a lot of traction and cheers from a lot of people. Thank you all!

The magazine Cykla went out today with a new issue including this article.

Now it’s finally official. I’m going to Rio for the Paralympics next year! I’ve been chosen by the Swedish Paralympic Commitee in the first selection round as 1 of only 4 individual athletes (all sports included) to compete in Rio.

I feel very honored and excited. This is as big as it gets and the world will be watching. Today it’s almost exactly one year until the games begins. I can’t wait!
