A bit about me:
I started doing gymnastics when I was 5 years old, and it soon became my life and passion. I loved
it! I was competing with Oslo Gymnastic Club and my coaches were Unni Holmen and Valentin Pintea. I participated in a lot
of contests, and being only 13 years old I made it to the national team. In 1992 I sadly had to stop gymnastics because of
injury.
Not long after I'd quit the gymnastics, I was convinced by a friend to go to a gym to give weight
training a try. After three months of training I did my first power lifting contest, the Norwegian Championship for juniors.
I placed 1st!
In 1999 I injured my chest muscle. I lost the motivation for competing in power lifting and quit.
After a short while of aimlessly working out I was inspired by Lena Johannesen to try Fitness.
I have become Norwegian Champion in all the three events I have competed in, gymnastics, power
lifting and fitness! I have also participated in the World Championships in all three events!!
