She also sustained a torn stomach muscle and a stress fracture in her back in January 2020. Earlier injuries include three stress fractures to her ribs in 2015, a broken right femur in 2013, and a torn kneecap in 2011.

Combining Sports

She finds a unique balance between rowing and skiing. "Rowing is my number one priority," she says. The combination of these sports helps her train better, reduce injury risks, and maintain a competitive mindset. Skiing provides the base training hours needed for rowing, while rowing builds strength and endurance for skiing.

Dancing with the Stars

In 2020, she became the first wheelchair dancer on Norwegian celebrity talent show 'Skal vi danse?' She finished sixth and found the experience demanding yet rewarding. "It was us against the world," she said, highlighting the mission to communicate that dance is for everyone.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, she aims to continue excelling in both rowing and skiing while balancing her professional commitments. Her philosophy remains simple: "Do your best and enjoy the rest!" With such a mindset, she is set to achieve more milestones.
