Trondhjems Skiskyttere

Linus was born in Oslo, Norway but has lived most of his life in the beautiful town of Trondheim. He has an American mom and a Norwegian dad and was therefore able to gain American citizenship. He enjoyed cross-country skiing from a very young age and started in the club Strindheim Ski at the age of 8. His mom suggested he should try biathlon when he was 13 and he did not hesitate as it looked like even more fun than cross-country skiing! He was hooked at once. Since entering the youth age group in 2022, he has been training with the locally based Trondheim Biathlon Team, and his training friends keep pushing each other towards success! His favorite venue to race at is Östersund since he shines through the technical turns and over the hilltops and he had a good experience attending SWE Cup 1 in December 2023 with a win and a second place finish!

Outside of biathlon, Linus loves fishing, especially flyfishing, and generally prefers being out in the wilderness. He also loves to go downhill skiing and enjoys listening to music.
