Me: ”When I don’t hug barbells I hug this guy! Love you my precious one.💖”
Bo: ”Mmm ’kay. You can let me go now. 😏”

😂 Happy day to you! 💖

When you’ve spent your entire childhood and young adulthood riding and handling animals far heavier than yourself…

…heavy barbells don’t seem all that intimidating. For better or worse. 🙈

Not a snatch fail from today, just one of many that explains a lot.😂

Relatable?🤓

Happy Tuesday, everyone!💖

Came to Athens to lift some weights. Left with new friends and a whole bunch of lifetime memories. 🇬🇷🏋️‍♀️

Back in Malmö this morning, still riding that vacation and post-competition high, posting a video dump of some moments I want to remember on a rainy day in Sweden.😉

Thank you, Athens. Maybe I’ll see you again!🫶

Happy Thursday everyone!💙🤍

🥈2nd place at World Master Weightlifting Championship W50/61kg, in my 2nd weightlifting competition.🥹

I don’t think I’ve fully taken it all in yet. But I do know that I’m incredibly happy and proud that I managed to get some lifts in on that platform. Even though I missed my very 1st lift because of nerves.😆

Snatch: 50❌50✅ 54✅
Clean & Jerk: 65✅ 68✅ 72❌
Bodyweight: 57.35 kg

@franciscakertzscher, thank you for keeping track of everything behind the scenes, my attempts, weight changes, timing and everything. And @emma771202 and @goodblume, thank you for loading the bar during warm-up, filming, cheering and helping me throughout the entire day. I know couldn’t have done it without the three of you.💛

And a very special thank you to my coach @urkoms_tyngdlyftning, who was with me on the phone. When I started with you as my coach back in March, who could have guessed that just a few months later I’d be standing on a podium with a silver medal around my neck?🥈 Thank you for believing in me, for taking me seriously and for everything you are teaching me.💙

And to everyone of YOU who has cheered me on, sent me messages, supported me, and just showered me with so much love, thank you so much.🥰 It means the world to me.❤️

What a journey this has been. And hopefully it’s only getting started. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll see you in Japan next year! 🇯🇵😉

Now officially registered and last training session done.✔️

I was honestly pretty nervous walking into the Taekwondo Arena and a training hall full of incredible lifters from all over the world today.🏋️🌍

I eventually remembered that I was actually there to lift too. 😂 Got to share platform with other lifters, but tried to focus on doing ”my thing” and remember what coach has taught me.🥹

What an experience this already is. So glad I came.🙌

Now off to Acropolis for some sightseeing and meeting my Swedish teammates for dinner!

Happy Friday everyone!💖

Not the best footage, but definitely the best coach. 💛💙

This weeks last coached session with @urkoms_tyngdlyftning before Athens!🇬🇷🫶

Since you started to coach me in March, I’ve learned and improved so much! Thank you for everything you’ve taught me and for supporting me.🥺

Now it’s time to trust the training and see what I can put on the platform on Sunday!🇬🇷🏋️‍♀️

Happy Monday!💙

Trading the comfy clothes and hair knot for a slightly upgraded version. Dinner and (non-alcoholic) drinks tonight.😊
No promises about making it past 22:00. 😂

Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday!✨🥂❤️

Sometimes all you need is a coach and a stick. 🎋😂

It’s all in the details. And having a coach who sees them. 👀

4 weeks out, and it’s needed. Thank you @urkoms_tyngdlyftning for doing whatever it takes to make me a better lifter. 🫡😇

Happy Friday, everyone!💖

👇 If you’re looking for a ”good bad” workout, yesterday’s was fun, gassy and grippy. CrossFit once a week hits a little different when weightlifting gets all the attention the rest of the days.😁

Still love my weekly dose of suffering though.😂

Some pictures taken today for my club to share our representation at the @imwa_2026 International World Masters Weightlifting Championship in Athens this September. 🇬🇷

I’ll proudly represent Sweden in W50, 61 kg, alongside amazing 65 Swedish Masters athletes @tyngdlyftningsforbundet heading to Greece. 4 of us from @malmolyftarklubb 🇸🇪

Still thinking I probably should’ve chosen an easier competition for my second one! 😂

Week 5 of training (almost) done. 7 weeks to go. Locked in. 🔒

Happy Friday, my friends! 💙💛
