A message from Niklas Edin:
The Curling Academy teacher in 2003 asked his students about their long term goals. โMake it to a Nationalsโ, โWin the Nationals and qualify for the Worlds would be cool!โ
What about you? The 17-year old who just started 3-4 years earlier: โWin 5 World Championships at skip, the record is 4! ๐ค The teacher prob rolled his eyes at that point but also saw a drive and motivation that was through the roof. ๐๐ค
The 7 years to come the boy lived, breathed, ate and sh*t curling 365 days a year. โNo curler can possibly train more or better!โโฆ Then came the injuries followed by surgeries, year after year. Doctors told him to quit sports and stop training or a wheelchair would be waiting๐จ๐ผโโ๏ธโ.
โNo sir, I got tournaments to play and titles to win! ๐ซกโ
The years passed, the injuries kept coming but the titles also started coming. The relentless work had paid off and from that point there was no looking back! ๐
8 World Championship golds ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
8 European Championship titles ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
3 Olympic medals ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
(Ranked #1 in the world was cool as well! ๐คฉ)
Dream of that young foolish boy came trueโฆand then some! ๐คญ๐ฅน Which leads me to make a tough and scary decision. To quit while ahead and have time to explore what else is out there! ๐จ๐ผโ๐ฆฏ
Donโt worry tho, Iโll be close to the game, watching, coaching, commentating and hopefully playing in the Rock League! ๐บ๐ผ
To not forget anyone, I wanna thank everyone whoโs been onboard this incredible journey and helped steering the ship through storms and peaceful sunrises! To all you fans that have been so kind and happy to follow our games closely! ๐ฅน To family and close ones cheering from afar ๐ฅฐ
I hope you enjoyed the ride!? I sure did! ๐ค๐ค๐
