Is she the exception or example? ⎹ A conversation with Solfrid Koanda

Solfrid Koanda’s journey to the Olympics Games 2024 is a unique one. From working as an electrician to becoming a full-time athlete. The three-time World Champion is a big medal hope for her home country Norway in the Paris Olympic Games. Without any athletic background, the 25-year-old trusted her intuition, quit her job and went all in. Since beginning of 2023 she is training full-time. On august 10th she will be competing in her first Olympic Games - Paris 2024 🇫🇷. I wish you all the best and lots of fun, Solfrid ❤️

In this conversation we talk about
Competing in German Bundesliga and lifting crazy weights
Her way into the sport of weightlifting and how it changed her life
How she deals with the new attention through sharing her lifting life online
From being shy lifting infront of a friend to competing on an international stage
The best and worst thing about being a full-time athlete
Her feelings about the Olympic Games in Paris
