Put through google translate yields:

 

"He first took a break from the sport. Hesitated, then for continuation. And now it's definitely Daniel Nermark ends with the speedway.
- I have lost interest and I am not one hundred percent motivated there is no point to run on, say Vermlander.

Daniel Nermark is Värmland most successful speedway rider and has represented a variety of Swedish clubs in the top league. Here in Värmland, he is of course mainly connected with rollers, but his career also cover other teams and leagues.

He has several times run well in Poland, considered by many to be the world's best speedway league.

But after this year's tough season so put Nermark shoe on the shelf. His team in England, Birmingham Brummies, went bankrupt, he was fired from the town and were outside the team in Poland. There remained only rolls before Nermark left the sport.

- It was so struligt with clubs and money, so I lost the urge. It's everything around that makes me tired. The skating, I think is still damn fun, says Daniel Nermark.

He says it reached a limit.

- It has been in some strange way become accustomed to not always get the money they are entitled to, but now I have lost motivation. And you can not go around doing bad results, we have after all a business of people helping one.

He leaves, however, a tiny opening, even though he has already started to sell parts of the speedway.

- I have no more ambition to run more. I feel ready and do not believe in coming back after the long break. But at the same time, I have changed my mind before, then you should not say that it is completely written in stone, says Nermark.

Now waiting for a different life for Nermark without speedway - which he welcomes.

- I think it's exciting, a new mode of doing anything else in life. I'm used to the speedway in my life, might as well get used to without it.

This year's premier division was injury filled and there were clubs that tried to get Nermark to jump on the bike again.

- But it did not feel as location for it, I'm told that is not justified.

What highlights do you bring from your career?

- The first SM-gold with rollers, it is number one on my list. The individual SM-gold slamming too high. Then it's very small stuff, such as when you have been very hurt and comes back and runs really well. It was a nice feeling.

You have taken a lot of punishment in his career and suffered several injuries. How are you today?

- Just great, and it's something I'm grateful. Several who went very bad, but it has not. I am hale and hearty, and in better shape than 15-20 years ago.

The secret?

- That I exercise a lot and had a good partnership with KMTI.

Will you let go completely Speedway?

- I'm not particularly interested in what happens in the premier league or anything like that, but I have a little heart in the Speedway in Karlstad. I was with at Karlstad Open and some other occasions, and it's something I can imagine continue.

And nice to not have all the traveling?

- I've actually always liked it, not seeing it as a problem, although it can be a bit tedious at times. It's pretty funny, last week I was in England, and took care of some things and when I got to the airport it felt like home, laughing Nermark."

Happy retirement to Daniel Nermark :) I wish him well in whatever he does next. Lynn certainly got the best out of him in the 2006/2007 seasons I think, but even for Birmingham this year, I thought he still looked decent. Glad I saw him race earlier this season now!
