There are canoes and kayaks, the sport I am practising is kayak.
Distances.
I'm competing for Örebro Kayak Club hich is placed near a river called "Svartån" in Örebro. I've been competing in kayak since 1996 and today I'm racing all the distances in both racing and marathon. The distances are: 200, 500, 1000, 5000 meter and 31-36km. My favorite distance is 500m, and is also the distance that I aim the highest for. I do not prioritize marathon, but I think it is fun and good for my training so I also do some marathon races each year. My least good distances usually are 200 and 5000m.
K2, k4.
I also compete in k2 and k4. Which are kayaks for two and four men. At this moment I race in k2 with my team mate David Leijonborg(Lioncastle). The k4 in our club has been changing from year to year, last time was in the swedish championships in k4 5000m. In that race it was me, David, Klas and Stefan (also look in pictures). This year me and David have done alot of k2 training and hopefully it will give results in the swedish championships coming up.
London 2012.
My biggest goal is the olympic games in London 2012. The goal is to be as good that I can take a medal in k1. If I will go k2 or k4, gold is the only result I will be satisfied with. There are alot of years until 2012 and first we have the OG's in Beijing 2008. I do not aim to go there, but I plan to be as good as that I would qualify in a k2 or k4. But maybe I will not have time to be that good until the qualififying competitions in 2007. Otherwise, the plan is to be in U23 Europeans 2006 and 2007. 2008 I will be in the European championships for seniors. |
