Reason: She took up Para cycling after attending a sports camp where she tried tandem racing bikes. "When I heard that there were racing bikes that went much faster than my own, I just had to have a go and then I was simply hooked. For me, it is the speed and the wind that create a huge feeling of freedom. I am out and about, hanging out with family and friends while I can enjoy the surroundings. In any case, it makes me feel incredibly alive." (paralympics.se, 01 Jan 2020; scf.se, 12 Sep 2016)
