– The birth was a little more complicated than first thought, Amalie Iuel told news during a trolley ride with her and Aksel Lund Svindal’s newborn son, Storm. On 1 September, the couple’s first child was born, but the birth did not go quite as Iuel had imagined. – There was an emergency caesarean section after quite a few hours in the delivery room. – What did you think when they said it was a caesarean section? – I was quite upset, because I had hoped I would be able to do it the old way or the usual way. But we had to take the emergency exit. I was sad just when they said it, but I realized very quickly that in order for him to be well and come out healthy, he had to go that way, says the athletics star.

Photo: Fredrik Solbu Jullumstrø / news Iuel says that she felt well cared for at the hospital during the entire birth and sends her thanks to the Norwegian healthcare system. Amalie Iuel Born: 17 April 1994 in Aalborg, Denmark. Marital status: Engaged to Aksel Lund Svindal, together they have a son Storm. Citizenship: Norwegian and Danish. Career: Ten individual NM gold medals in athletics. Gold from the team EC in 2019 and Nordic championship in 2020. Has participated in the Olympics for Norway in 2016 and 2021. Specializes in 400 meter hurdles. Masar på Alnes, the 29-year-old was forewarned of a demanding road back to the athletics track after the birth, but with a caesarean section, the road was even longer than first thought. She has been told by the doctors that she can start doing some small things, and hopes to lace up her shoes for a light jog next week. – I feel light on my feet and ready to come back simply. It tingles. I’m glad. I feel that I have withered away a bit in the last few weeks here now, says Iuel. COACH: Leif Olav Alnes follows Iuel closely. Photo: NTB On the other hand, she thinks that coach Leif Olav Alnes is worried that she will take on too much, too soon. – I try to pester Leif Olav a bit. “Let me do a little more.” Maybe push the boundaries a little all the time. He’s good at holding me back so I don’t do anything stupid. – I’m starting to get extremely restless, adds the hurdler. – Hairy goals Iuel is used to a very hard training life, with major championships as goal setting. A carrot in the distance when every day is filled with long sessions together with Karsten Warholm and co. in Valhalla. Next year, both the EC in June and the Olympics in July and August are on the programme. It is already starting to rush with regard to the games in Paris next summer. But Iuel wants to go there. – I know it’s a tall order, but I like a good challenge. It’s hard to say if I’m a little too optimistic or what. STRÅLAR: Iuel enjoy the new life as a mother. Photo: Fredrik Solbu Jullumstrø / news – It could be me, but if the Olympics don’t go ahead, there are many other championships that will come in a row in the following years as well. It’s not like if I don’t make it to the Olympics, it’s a big failure. I plan to continue anyway, she says. Four years later, in 2028, Los Angeles – the city where she studied – will host the Olympics. – It would have been really fun to get there. As a nice, perhaps full stop to her career, she smiles. Getting engaged No is mostly about giving Storm a good start in life. But after three years in a relationship with Lund Svindal, the highlights have come in a row in recent times. ENGAGED: Iuel and Lund Svindal have not yet seen the wedding date. Photo: Amalie Iuel / Instagram Last week the couple released the news that they are engaged. – It was a nice wink in nature. The two of us, the kid and the cat. It couldn’t have been better than that. – When is the wedding? – We haven’t talked about that. We are a bit bad at planning, so it can take a while. But now we are at least getting started.
