Living in Norway and representing Sweden, Emelie is one of the most accomplished all-around mountain athletes in the world – with a focus on trail running and ski mountaineering. Emelie originally identified most as a climber, before starting to run in the mountains for pure enjoyment. She competed in her first serious trail race in 2009 and has since been amongst the world’s best at distances ranging from the Vertical Kilometer to 100 miles. Emelie’s Ski Mountaineering career began a few years later in 2012 when she jumped into a race using borrowed skis and finished 3rd. She has since finished on the podium in several European and World Championship races. Emelie gave birth to her and her partner Kilian Jornet’s first daughter in March of 2019, and to their second daughter in April of 2021. She now has her eyes set on a return to training and top-level competition in 2022 and beyond.
