Younger Sister Of Magnus Carlsen
Ingrid Øen Carlsen is the younger sister of Magnus Carlsen, who made him a proud big brother for the first time on 5 May 1994. At the time of her birth, Ingrid’s family was residing in Brussels, Belgium. However, when she was four, she and her whole family moved back to their homeland, Norway. They lived in Lommedalen, Bærum, for some period and later settled in Haslum, Oslo.
Growing up, Magnus Carlsen’s sister, Ingrid Øen Carlsen, received her primary education from Mølladammen School, Lommedalen, Bærum. Then after moving to Oslo, she completed her higher education at Fagerborg Upper Secondary School.
Furthermore, Ingrid had a passion for dancing since her early childhood. So, after completing high school, she enrolled in Spin-Off Forstudium I Dans (Spin-Off Pre-study in Dance) with a dream to be a professional choreographer and dancer. After acquiring a one-year dance course from Spin-Off, Ingrid moved to Sweden to join Balettakademien Stockholm in 2014, from where she graduated in 2017.
Currently, Ingrid Carlsen lives with her family and owns a dance academy in Norway.
Played Chess For Some Years In The Past
Like her elder brother, Ingrid Carlsen also grew up playing chess with her siblings, parents, and other family members. Her dad, Henrik, a keen chess player himself, introduced the game to her elder siblings, Magnus and Ellen, when she was just a year old. Seeing her brother and sister’s interest in chess, her whole family began playing it as an enjoyable family pastime. Ingrid also quickly learned the rules of chess by seeing her family’s games and began playing on her own too.
