Aksel Lund Svindal has left a lot to the world of skiing and has now decided to convey much of what he has experienced in over 15 years of career at the highest levels. Like many sportsmen, just three months after the withdrawal occurred on the occasion of the rainbow descent of Are, where he touched a clamorous closure with world gold around his neck for two cents, one of the most loved athletes by the public decided to write, together with the Norwegian journalist Torbjorn Ekelund, a book that gathers his experiences related to his life in the ski environment and beyond. A sort of biography, "Greater than me", which will be released in November in the original language in Norway, but which Aksel promises will also be translated into English and German. "I started working on a book, I am a little surprised at myself - revealed Svindal - I realized that this is a great way to share the stories I was lucky to be a part of. Sport has given me some important lessons that I try to do in everyday life. And I hope they can be stimulating and useful for everyone. "
