Press reviews

The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote about Udelhoven's international career under the heading “Cosmopolitan, Norwegian”: “The Bild-Zeitung once called Jussi Udelhoven 'the Finn'. Unfortunately, that was not true, even if his first name comes from Finnish. But you don't have to be surprised if someone confuses Udelhoven's bio and geography again. The fact is that the German Jussi Udelhoven, whom everyone just called 'the Belgian', is (now) Norwegian. (...) Strictly speaking, says Udelhoven, it actually has nothing to do with sport. 'I literally emigrated,' he says. "
