Lisa Norden (Sweden) has burst onto the world triathlon stage and into Olympic medal contention with a fistful of breakthrough results at the start of the year. The under23 world champion from Hamburg did not waste any time in early 2008 producing three straight world cup podium results.
Diary quote: “Finally it’s all 100 percent, I’ll be on the start line in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The world champs in Vancouver was the last chance to collect Olympic points. I finished number 27th on the ranking, and with that, Sweden also secured their slot among the 55 athletes who will be starting. It’s been two years of hard work and a dedicated training and racing program to make this dream come true.”
“I’m now taking a week off training which I will spend back home in Sweden. After that I will return to our camp in the Pyrenees where I will tackle the last bit of training leading up to the Games. I’m really excited to have made the team and I will put everything I have in those last two months of training. I’ll see you in Beijing.”
