Kirsten Bruhn knows exactly what she wants and what not. But until she can make her dream of an own swimwear and jewellery collection come true, she swims as fast as she can – also at the Paralympics in London. REHACARE.de talked to the self-confident athlete about strange odours, applesauce and her parents.

REHACARE.de: When did you last laugh heartily and what about?
Kirsten Bruhn: Just one minute ago ;)

REHACARE.de: What is your favourite place? And why?
Kirsten Bruhn: At home – just relaxing and having no pressure from outside, no strange odours and no demands on my person.

REHACARE.de: The last meal in my life would be…
Kirsten Bruhn: “Heaven and earth” (applesauce and potato puree)

Kirsten Bruhn: My parents

REHACARE.de: Is there something you should throw away, but won’t?
Kirsten Bruhn: I have all that I own for as long as I want and have to.

REHACARE.de: If you were to win one million in the lottery, what would you do with the money?
Kirsten Bruhn: I would amortise the house of my parents and go on holiday with my family. I would also go on holiday only with my boyfriend in the Maldives. For my middle sister and also for me and my boyfriend I would buy a flat. I would create and produce my own swimwear and jewellery collection. I would enjoy and experience my life with all my heart.

REHACARE.de: Which moment of your life would you like to relive?
Kirsten Bruhn: Every moment in which I was feeling happiness with all my heart and really experienced it.
