skidgymnasium> In English> Interview with Maria Börjel
Name: Maria Börjel
Age: 17
Grade: First year of Liberal Arts (Social Science) program.
Choice of event: Cross country skiing How
do you combine studies with your choice of event?:
I have training on my schedule, about 3,5 days a week and I
sometimes have longer schooldays than ordinary students. It
can be a little hard sometimes to get time to do my homework
but I manage. And we also have four years of studies as compared
to the three years the ordinary students have.
How is Torsby as a skiing facility?
Very good! We have loads of snow during the winter season. The
skiing facilities keep the snow available for us skiers during
a longer period. The coaches try to give us chances to ski during
a longer period so before the snow has reached our parts of
the country we travel to where there is snow. For example, last
year we went to Norway for a week.
What is your opinion about the coaches?
We have very well educated coaches. Among them we have people
who have worked as personal trainers for the Swedish national
team.
A competition you remember?
A relay I had with some guys. I remember
that because I had the winning position when I reached the change-
over. I was quite young then and we won!
Is there anything you would like to change?
To get the ski tunnel
