Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
I have countless great memories in my swimming career, but two that really stand out. The first one was at the East Danish Championships where my team and I won silver in the 4×100 Medley relay. The energy before and during the race was amazing even though I was approximately four years younger than the others on my team. I swam a PB in the butterfly and we touched in second place. My team and I were thrilled! The second one was at the Nordic Junior Short Course Championships, where I won the silver medal in the 400 IM. To represent the Danish junior national team was something very special. The field in the 400 IM was close, but I gave it my all and touched second. It was a dream come true, which got me, my teammates and parents really excited!
Goals:
My biggest dream in the sport of swimming is to compete at the Olympics in 2024!
Anything else we should know?
I really look forward to competing in college in the US as I have always enjoyed competing as a team. I am a reliable team player who can inspire his teammates to be the best version of themselves!
