There are two extremes that are very difficult to explain, ” says Eide.

I have thought a lot about what I experienced in the target area, what it was that happened there and try to put words to the feelings. When I used touched, but I think in a way it was something else. I was happy, but at the same time, I knew of a huge loss, the grief and emptiness that Ida filled for me, so I have thought a lot about.

– It was not the way I thought it would be when I started that little dreamed that I should stand on the podium in a world cup. Then it was just pure joy I would feel and be happy and satisfied, but then I felt actually a bit the opposite. It was tough, ” explains 29-year-old.

We say that sport is not so important, but for me in this context, it has been very important. I have a huge motivation to develop myself and further, but at the same time so I must know a little of the grief that I sometimes put a little to the side to perform. It is a process I will maybe never out of the.

Dreading to the time after the world cup,

How has it been to share your story with so many who have known about your sister’s death?

It has been difficult. I had big problems with to meet the media in november and meet the press, but now notice I that I have chosen to be open and say what I feel here and now. I am honest and open about it, I believe many people feel with me and I have received many stories about people who I have helped and told their stories. It put I really appreciate.

– How has the response to you have been after you went to the bronze yesterday?

It has been huge. It seems that it touches many. I have held on to for many years and worn very. Those who stood closest to me noticed how much I struggled in the fall.

– What messages have meant the most?

I have not had time to read all the messages, but it has been fantastic. The little sister sat at home and was very sorry that she was not here yesterday and could hug me. Also, it is he who got me to believe it is here again, a sports psychologist at the olympia top, which got me to get your mind on the right track in the fall. One who understands how far down I’ve been and who saw me at the most vulnerable, ” says Eide.
