The Man Behind the Medal
Jul 07, 2025·FreestyleA new short documentary, produced by Ludvig Fjällström, former athlete of the Swedish Moguls Team, shines a spotlight on one of the most influential figures in the sport: Lasse Fahlen.
A true pioneer of the sport, Lasse was competing in moguls long before most of today’s athletes were even born. Over the past 35+ years, he has dedicated himself to coaching — guiding generations of skiers and playing a key role in the rise of Swedish moguls skiing on the World Cup stage.
From his early days as an athlete to his current role as a mentor and leader, Lasse’s story is one of passion, perseverance, and quiet excellence. This film offers a rare look into his journey, the impact he's had on his athletes, and the deep respect he’s earned within the freestyle community.
