So, what happened to Jens Burman’s YouTube channel?

“Involuntary Break”

During the Swedish national team’s press conference in Stockholm, he explained to ProXCskiing.com’s sister site Langd.se why there hasn’t been a new vlog since the Tour de Ski at the beginning of the year:

“Yes, it’s become a bit of an involuntary break, mainly because I started studying and have had to prioritize,” he said.

He continued, “Time just isn’t enough, which is why it’s come to a halt. And I think I’ve gotten a bit comfortable because during the summer, I probably could have posted something, but it’s unfortunately slipped through the cracks.”

What did you start studying?

“To become an electrical engineer. I find it very interesting and enjoyable.”

What’s your dream job after your career?

“I think what I’m studying now is very interesting and enjoyable. So hopefully, I can work in that field after my career.”
