Speaking about his ambition, Espen says, "I just reached two of my goals. Getting back on my feet and [making] the Olympic team. I also want to be top three in Olympic and the ISF tour. I also want to have top three in an American competition, since that's something I haven't done before. I also want to get more coverage in magazines and films. High ambitions...."
