Life

Anne Line Gjersem was born together with a twin sister, Camilla, on 6 January 1994 in Hønefoss, Norway.[1][2] Their mother, Perlina Bangug, is a Filipina from Ilagan, Isabela,[3] and their father, Petter Gjersem, a Norwegian from Raufoss.[4] Anne Line is studying Information and Communication Technologies at Lund University.[2][5]

Career

Gjersem began skating at the age of eight in Gjøvik.[6] She debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2008.[7] She appeared three times at the World Junior Championships — her best result was 26th in 2010.

Gjersem made her senior ISU Championship debut at the 2011 European Championships and finished 25th. In October 2012, she ruptured a groin muscle, causing her to withdraw from the Warsaw Cup.[6] In 2013, she qualified for her second European Championships, where she finished 22nd, and for her first World Championships, where she placed 32nd.

2013–14 season: Sochi Olympics

The Nebelhorn Trophy in September 2013 was the final qualifying opportunity for countries which had not already earned a spot in a figure skating event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. By placing seventh, Gjersem earned a ladies' entry for Norway. In October 2013, she sustained a thigh injury at the International Cup of Nice.[6] In January 2014, she came in 19th at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest.

In February 2014, Gjersem competed in the ladies' singles event at the Olympics. With a placement of 24th in the short program, she qualified for the free skate, where she placed 22nd, and finished 23rd overall. In March, she advanced to the free skate at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan and finished 22nd. Gjersem subsequently received her first senior Grand Prix assignment, the 2014 Cup of China.

2014–15 season to present

Gjersem finished 11th at 2014 Cup of China and 12th at 2014 NHK Trophy. In January she became the Norwegian national champion, after placing 2nd in the short program behind her twin sister. Gjersem won the silver medal at the 2015 Nordic Championships. She placed 17th at the 2015 World Championships, the best result for a Norwegian ladies' skater since the 1940s.[8]

Gjersem started the 2015–16 season by placing 8th at the 2015 Finlandia Trophy. She won the bronze medal at the 2015 Denkova-Staviski Cup with a new personal best score. She became the Norwegian national champion for the 4th time, again finishing ahead of her twin sister. At the 2016 European Championships Gjersem placed 14th in the short program, and 17th in the free program and overall.[9]
