Rebecka Blomqvist describes the time before the Olympic announcement as long and uncertain.

- It is clear that there were a lot of thoughts before.

It has been a long wait.

One hopes and hopes.

But it is a very tough competition, she says.

On a daily basis, the 23-year-old plays at a higher level than most of the strikers who joined the squad.

Wolfsburg reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League this year and finished second in the German Bundesliga.

- Of course I feel that I am in a good environment and have gained a lot of confidence there. I feel a lot of confidence in the national team as well. They have thought about all possible aspects and come to this conclusion. I feel that I keep a good level and develop all the time. That's the most important thing to me. Then Peter and Magnus (Wikman) get to feel for what they need in an Olympic team.
