Josefine Lillhage
Olympic Finalist and World Champion Freestyle Swimmer
Josefin Lillhage, a Pisces, loves water. Swimming comes second to breathing, and in 2004 she was a finalist in the Olympics, won the World Championship, earned the European Championship title, and achieved the European record.
Josefin first came in contact with TAHITIAN NONI® Juice in 2002. Since that time the juice has become a part of her training and competing.
“TAHITIAN NONI® Juice is a matter of course towards new titles and new records. I drink the juice every day to keep up with my high level of training.” says Lillhage.
”Swimming is my job and I take pleasure in working at something that is fun to do. I am very satisfied with my life at the moment and I know that I will not be able to do this for the rest of my life. I love to be a full time swimmer.”
