Medal record
|
Holmlund won 19 World Cup races and three ski cross World Cups up to 2016.[2] She came sixth at the 2010 Winter Olympics and won the bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics. She won a bronze medal at the 2011 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships.[3]
During a practice run on 19 December 2016 in Innichen, Holmlund crashed and suffered head injuries with brain hemorrhages and facial fractures, including a diffuse axonal injury.[4][5] Doctors put her in a medically induced coma in a hospital in Bolzano[6] and a week later she was flown back to Sweden.[7] In May 2017, the Swedish Ski Association announced that Holmlund had regained consciousness and had communicated with and recognised friends and family.[8] In July 2017, she left the Danderyd hospital, where she had been treated, and returned to her hometown of Sundsvall.[9]
In December 2017, Holmlund took her first steps since the accident.[10] She made a return to the ski slopes in February 2018, when she took to the snow in a sit-ski for the first time.[11] In April 2018, she made a return to competition by racing in a biski with the assistance of her brother Kalle: they won the women's class in a downhill race in Åre.[12]
In early November 2018, Holmlund was announced as an ambassador for Stockholm's bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics.[13]
