Meet our colleague, Legal Counsel and Head of Quality Evelina T. Wahlström! 💪 What does your role at the SCC involve?   - I’m “double-hatted” at the SCC. As Legal Counsel I’m responsible for one of our four divisions and administering disputes under the SCC Rules. As Head of Quality, I work closely with our Head of Operations in streamlining and developing SCC’s internal routines as well as external work such as rules revisions etc.     What surprised you the most when starting at the SCC?  - The variety of cases still amazes me. I thought my new colleagues were pranking me when I, on my second or third day, was assigned to send a notice of arbitration addressed to a state leader! But it was no prank, we actually did, and still do, administer disputes involving states.  We know that you are into CrossFit. Please tell us about the Hero Workout, called the Chad!   - Chad is one of my favorite workouts because it is so simple and so gruesome at the same time. You simply do 1 000 step-ups on a 20-inch box as fast as possible, carrying a 15-kilo backpack. Once you’ve done the 1 000 steps, you’re done. The CrossFit community all over the world perform this workout once a year, in remembrance of Chad Wilkinson, a navy SEAL who took his life due to the effects of PTSD. In connection with the workout, we also collect funds for the organization “Suicide Zero”, working for suicide prevention.
