Certina is delighted to announce a new partnership with Ebba Andersson. The 27-year-old Swede is a multiple world champion in cross-country skiing and has won silver and bronze medals in the relay at the last two Winter Olympics. The Swiss watchmaker Certina, which has always had a close connection to the world of sports, has been active in cross-country skiing for several years and is now welcoming Ebba Andersson to its international family of brand ambassadors.
Ebba Andersson is a truly exceptional skiing talent: The young, likeable Swede secured second place in the Cross-Country World Cup in Oslo over 50 km in 2024 and even won the Swedish championships over 30 km. These latest long-distance successes are the continuation of an impressive career that also includes numerous triumphs over the shorter distances and in the relay. Since her début in 2014, Ebba has already won eleven gold medals at Swedish championships, three gold medals at world championships and one silver and one bronze medal at the Winter Olympics.
This much concentrated athletic prowess is inevitably met with enthusiasm by Swiss watchmaker Certina: "We love sport," confesses Certina CEO Marc Aellen. "Resistance, reliability, dynamic energy and precision are the hallmarks of every Certina watch – and it is precisely these qualities that we find on the playing fields, race tracks and pistes of this world. We are therefore delighted to have such a talented cross-country skier as Ebba Andersson in our family and wish her every success in her upcoming competitions."
Ebba Andersson already knows Certina from her international competitions. The brand has been the official timekeeper of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup and the Ski Classics Pro Tour long-distance event for several years. "I'm delighted to be competing in my races as a Certina brand ambassador now," says the young Swede. "The brand has a long history with the world of sports, and it is a great honour for me to continue this tradition. What matters in my sport is performance, accuracy and perfect timing – and Certina certainly knows all about that."
Just in time for the start of the 2024 winter season, both Ebba Andersson and the watchmaking brand Certina are getting ready for their upcoming athletic challenges – a dynamic team with big plans.
