As a member of the professional On Athletics Club, she has the opportunity to travel and train in various climates, which enhances her performance as a competitive athlete.

However, upon her recent return to Finland, Blomqvist faced the stark contrast of the local winter weather, which included cold and rainy conditions, leading her to reflect on her lifestyle choices.

This return serves as a reminder of the advantages of living abroad for her training regimen, highlighting the differences between her training environments and her emotional connection to Finland.
