It was brutal heat and humidity in Qatar during the World Cup in progress, for Perseus Karlström and the others. Afterwards, he admitted that it was brutally difficult.
- When it changed, then it changed a lot! It was awkward in the end. But it was just to cool down the body as much as possible, he says.
Promises a haircutExtreme heat is also expected at the Tokyo Olympics next year. And to give himself better opportunities to take an even finer position, he now makes a promise:
- I have, as you see, cut me. But it will be the phase to shave the skull for next year, because I have to remove all insulation. So in Tokyo there will probably be less hair. I can promise that, he says with a laugh.
