Namita Nayyar:
As a professional pole vaulter are there any benchmarks or goals that you have set for yourself? If yes, do share them with us.
Cathrine Larsåsen:
I didn’t manage to come to the Olympics, but instead I got a healthy beautiful boy. Which I would never give away for a gold medal. I could still manage to try out for another Olympics in 2020. But I have no idea how life will look like or even be with two kids. So even if that could have been a fun dream, I find it hard to answer at this time. My boyfriend has a scarification of the Olympic rings on his shoulder, so lying next to him and my son I sometimes feel that I have achieved it or something bigger. I feel strong and proud of becoming a mum, and this will always be my biggest achievement. So no goals could ever become bigger. Due date in October, so looking forward to see my new son.
Namita Nayyar:
How do you relax after a hectic training session?
Cathrine Larsåsen:
Before kids I always pampered myself, had so much focus on relaxing since I knew this also was a part of the training. Legs high, TV series and sleeping a lot. But now I barely have time to think about what I could be doing to relax… But putting myself in the tub alone without my son 😉 and lighting a lot of candles is my idea of relaxing. Or even just being by myself. That’s a new luxury 😉 ha ha… It’s just weird how you miss that when you’re a mum even if you love being together with others and of course your little love.
