– I called her as soon as I saw the selection and I know from many that she dreamed about this during the time she was sick and I think it was hard for her to dare to believe it. But she was incredibly determined when it came to this choice and that was the only thing on her mind. Seeing her name there was so much fun seeing her name there, Stena Blacksteinius says, and continues:
– From not knowing if she will ever be able to play handball again to seeing her name in such a great squad.
How did you support her during her illness?
– He’s been on the phone a lot. I wasn’t able to be in Gothenburg very often, but I took the opportunities I was able to meet and was soon over the phone. I think she was incredibly powerful in her own right, and I’m so touched in such a situation when her whole life is turned upside down.
