Kjære ValhallaArmy, er med et forbanna tungt krigerhjerte jeg må si at jeg må trekke meg fra matchen min i Stockholm... Lysken min ville ikke være med lengre og smertene under trening  er ikke til å leve med! Jeg må bare unnskylde til alle dere som har tenkt å ta turen over. Føler meg så jævla råtten, for det betyr så mye for meg at dere kommer å heier... Jeg kommer fortsatt til Stockholm for å heie, og for å møte alle som hadde tenkt å heie på meg<3 Jeg lover at jeg fortsatt skal bli best, jeg er langt fra ferdig og jeg skal faen meg rive med meg et belte hjem til Norge før det er over.. Emil <3 #valhallaarmy
