Walter Wallberg is one of Sweden's biggest medal hopes, but has been struggling with back problems for over a year. Despite the discomfort, the moguls star has made up his mind.
"Now we've decided to go for it. It doesn't matter how it feels. Now we're just going for it," says Wallberg in sunny Livigno.
When asked if he takes painkillers, Wallberg replies:
There are painkillers in my body.
The 25-year-old still chooses to focus on the positive ahead of the competition.
"Tutto bene," he says. "Training has gone really well - three nice runs."
The moguls qualification will be decided on Tuesday starting at 11:15 a.m. In addition to Wallberg, Olympic debutant Rasmus Stegfeldt will also be at the start.
