Athletic career

[edit]

Nordén took the silver medal in triathlon at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She was credited with the same time (1:59.48) as gold medalist Nicola Spirig, but was edged out in a photo finish.[3] The Swedish Olympic Committee (NOC) appealed the result to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).[4] The appeal was denied the day after it was filed,[5] Nordén said she was happy with her silver medal and considered it a gold medal.[6]

Nordén additionally takes part in non ITU events. In 2010, she won three gold medals at Gladbeck, Witten and Schliersee (German open Championships). She has represented Stadtwerke Team Witten.

In June 2015, she competed in the inaugural European Games, for Sweden in women's triathlon. She earned a bronze medal.

Outside of triathlon, Nordén won the Swedish national cycling time trial championships in 2018,[7] and the Swedish national road cycling championships in 2019.[8]
