This was a moment that I had dreamt of for as long as I can remember! As a child looking at different sports and seeing amazing athletes stand on a podium and hear their national anthem, I thought one day I want that moment too! 🏆

And now! To have the national anthem play for me after wining the world champs was even cooler than I could imagine! 🥹

Ending the season here! Whit the Swedish shorts course championship🥈

With a sub optimal preparation did I go in whit low expectations and just hope to make it through😅

Whas fighting for the lead in the first half of the race and after 3k the race become really hard for me! Knowing that @martinbackstrom90 (in the lead) hade a penalty made the fight for the gold between me and @lopsteget.jager 🏆

Tobias whas in sight the whole time but not realy in reach then on the finishing run through the forest some one hade ripped down the bands showing where to go so I did a wrong turn and Tobias whas not in sight anymore 😂

Coming in to the last obstacles I saw Martin in the penalty loop and now the fight for the secund place whas on! I took it this time whit a close sprint finish 🏃🏼‍➡️

Now is it time to slow down and take care of some small Injuries that have been ignored! It's been a long year but a really good one! So yearly recap coming soon🔜🏆

Now at the airport preparing for a 9:30h flight back to Sweden, but what an ending to the UIPM and China experience 🤩

Like most of the championships, it's the last day for team/relays and one of the days I looked forward to the most.

Was honored to be asked by @matteo_pelizza_ to join him and @claudiabongiovanni_ on the 3k team race 😬 Really nervous due to the body being way off the whole trip. I also know that when you run in a team you can push a bit more, and what a fun race. We ended up in 4th place, but we did a great race and I'm super happy to have been a part of it 🤩

4x100m was on the menu for the afternoon! Where I had the great honor to run with @kasia.jonaczyk @ninja.madleen11 @gal___shrim.

After some struggle with start lists and when we were set to run, we finally made it and I'm really glad we did 🤩 What a team! We for some reason were not allowed to race elite, so we ended up taking the gold in the senior category 🤷🏼 None the less, I had a lot of fun and it's so cool to have been a part of a cross-nation team 😬

In summary, the team race at the end of a comp is one of the best ways to finish on a high and want more

Nytt koncept på Short Course med kval till finalen!🇨🇳

Placerade mig som 8:a i min semifinal, vilket räckte till avancemang. Väl i finalen började jag känna av tån ganska tidigt, så jag valde att släppa på gasen och bara ta mig i mål för att undvika mer tid på kryckorna. Gled till slut in som 23:a ✌🏻

Min landsman och reskamrat @danne.ekstrom98 gjorde ett trots tunga ben mycket fint lopp och sprang in som 9a på en otroligt snabblöpt bana🔥🇸🇪

Nu är jag taggad på en höst och vinter med tid att förhoppningsvis en gång för alla ta tag i alla skavanker🙏🏻

I had every excuse in the book to never even try competing at an elite level.

11 years ago, I stumbled into OCR. I fell in love with the sheer joy of it, and before I knew it, I became an elite athlete.

I’ve watched this sport evolve through many eras. First, it became more technical. One obstacle could take over a minute, grip endurance and agility were very important.

Then things shifted, becoming lighter and faster. Different races took different paths, and today explosive speed and efficiency dominate.

Through all those changes, OCR remains the absolute best sport to me, and I’m grateful to have experienced it through so many stages. Adventure,fiso,uipm

My original plan was to retire as an elite athlete in 2024 after the first official Swedish 400m Championship.

But when I crossed the finish line, I found out the European Championship would feature the 400m in 2025. So, I stayed one more year.

Then came the news that 2026 would host the World Championship😅

Sitting here in China after competing in the UIPM 400m and 100m World Championships, I can finally say I am done as an elite athlete.

Performance-wise, this final year didn’t go the way I had hoped. I feel like I hit my peak back in November last year. But I don’t see this season as a failure at all.

It has been an incredible adventure, packed with invaluable experiences and memories I’ll carry forever.

These past two years weren’t just about my racing. They were about gaining as much experience and perspective as possible to coach the next generation — whether that’s juniors, middle-aged athletes reigniting their competitive spark, or seniors realizing that retiring from work doesn’t mean retiring from competition.

I’ve felt every emotion an athlete can possibly feel on the course. I’ve lived through every format change this sport has thrown at us. Now, I’m ready to take everything I’ve learned and pass it on.

I started OCR because I loved playing, experimenting and evolving obstacle techniques, not because I wanted to be elite.
Now I am simply going back to where my heart is in the sport: playing and coaching ✌️
