Ulrika Knape-Lindberg: “I have a lot of memories from GIH”

As a 17 year old, an inward two and a half pike dive made her a popular celebrity overnight. But during the 70s, an Olympic gold medal could not lead to a long-term living wage. So instead, Ulrika Knape-Lindberg studied physical education and health at Örebro University. She especially remembers how she as a sports-teacher-to-be made it through a cumbersome winter training course at the foot of Mount Kebnekaise.
