Linn Svahn’s strongest Olympic memory: “She was hanging over the fence, throwing up”

With 100 days remaining until the Winter Olympics in Italy, Swedish cross‑country team members look back on past Olympic moments.

Johanna Hagström and William Poromaa recall fond memories from their childhoods that shaped their Olympic dreams. In contrast, Linn Svahn says her strongest Olympic recollection is a comedic scene: “It’s the only thing I think of now when I think of the Olympics, because it’s so funny,” she says with a laugh, describing someone “hanging over the fence and throwing up.”

The segment, produced by Radiosporten’s Selma Jennervall, is a light feature that captures anticipation for Milano‑Cortina 2026 rather than reporting on current races or results.
