Sweden’s former World Cup star Per Elofsson participated last weekend in his first national team camp in a long time. – The motivation is still there and I still have ambitions, but it’s up in the air if I will succeed, says the ski-king.</p>
<p>Despite three World Championship gold’s and past overall World Cup victory, Elofsson is still not satisfied. He wants more.</p>
<p>Elofsson is telling the Swedish newspaper Expressen <a href=http://expressen.se/index.jsp?d=110&a=278602)
– I want to be a part of the top again. I have been hoping to make it back from day one of my problems and the desire to succeed is even bigger toward a big championship like the Olympics. I have a burning desire to be a part of that, says Elofsson.
Elofsson believes that it’s possible to come back despite all his problems with over-training and other struggles.
— I know where my maximum levels are and where I’m now. It looks promising, but I know that the last couple percent are extremely hard to reach.
When asked why he wants to go through this he answers:
– I can feel that I have some years left. It’s a privilege. The desire and motivation is still there and I want to accomplish more. If it’s realistic is another question.
Per is not too scared about the level at the top and only one-thing counts as important.
– An Olympic medal is what’s interesting. That’s my dream. I’m not looking for a tenth place, that’s not my motivation, says Elofsson.
