She was one of the world's best skicross skiers before the crash in 2016 when she suffered a brain injury.

Now Anna Holmlund is betting on a new sport: swimming, reports Radiosporten.

There's nothing stopping me. I have to do something, she says.

I can swim, so I'm betting on that.

The 37-year-old has decided on backstroke, since her right side is paralyzed and she can get buoyancy on her back and move forward with the help of her left side.

I clearly hope for a happier Anna, that I'll be happier when I find something I'm passionate about.
