ten-year anniversary of this event

Bågenholm remembers nothing of the accident and adds that the event did not change her life.

"I'm not so emotional. I'm more practical, I think," she says.

Paragraph 2:

What happened that day in 1999 changed her life and has redefined what is possible in cases of accidental hypothermia.

Paragraph 19:

Bågenholm remembers nothing of the accident and adds that the event did not change her life.

Yeah, I noticed that; pretty sure that what the author is going for there is basically saying "despite her denial, this totally changed her life; I mean COME ON"

I mean, I don't see how you can straight-faced say "the months of nerve rehabilitation I went through after I was dead and submerged in water for 80 minutes had no impact on my life whatsoever" but then again I'm not a hardcore Norwegian.
