EHF EURO 2022 - 8 November: Jenny Carlson on IBD awareness, life as an athlete with a stoma and Sweden's perfect start

We are deep into the preliminary round now, looking at the teams and players who have stood out so far. We speak to Jenny Carlson (21:30 mins) about Sweden’s ideal start to the championship, including a momentous win over co-hosts Slovenia, and her efforts to raise awareness of IBD - inflammatory bowel disease. Sweden’s starting playmaker was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at the age of 18 and had an ileostomy constructed in emergency surgery in 2018. Carlson speaks about what changed for her as a handball player with a stoma, how life has gotten better for her on and off the court since then and fighting stigma with her openness on the topic and her Instagram account @athletewithstoma.
