Olympic Games 2008

I’m really satisfied with my performance during the Games, yet it would have been nice to step up one place on both 500m and 1000m:-) Anyway, I did my best races in 4 years and I felt great so there is nothing more I can do than congratulate the new Olympic Champions, Tim Brabants and Ken Wallace.

I want to thank my team mates for a lot of good sessions during fall, winter and spring. Jacob Norenberg kept on training all summer even when the rest of the guys stopped after the continental qualification, so a huge thanks to Jacob. I also want to thank sport director Morten Ivarsen, my personal coach Ørjan Madsen, coach Tom Selvik and Olympiatoppen. Last but not least I want to thank my sponsors for making it possible for me to do what I love the most, paddle.

Olympic Silver Medal!

Catch of the day!

Everything went according to plan, won my heat and are ready for fridays finale! Celebrating with norwegian recipe bread and norwegian cheese.

business class

Probably the first and last time I’m flying business class to Beijing. Since i’m arriving just a few days before i start competing it’s important with a smooth travel.
