Some of her racing in Norway includes Femundløpet Junior (4th place in 2022) and Finnmarskløpet Junior (4th place in 2023). Next year, Ylva-li is excited to have the opportunity to be an exchange student in the United States. In her free time, she enjoys running and strength training. After high school, she would like to compete in the Iditarod.
