Conrad is 28 years old and lives in Stockholm, Sweden. Sport has always played a big part in his life, achieving titles such as Swedish, Estonian, and Baltic champion in go-cart, along with multiple top 5 positions in the Swedish national championships in swimming. However, in 2012, he suffered a neck injury that left him with no feeling or movement below the middle of his chest. Additionally, his triceps and wrists weakened significantly, and his fingers lost all functionality. Following the injury, he transitioned to wheelchair rugby, participating in two European championships (earning one silver and one 4th place) and one world championship (finishing 8th).
Now, Conrad is back in the swimming pool training to qualify for Paris in para swimming. We invite you to follow Conrad's journey as he charts new waters.
