Swewi

Stina Nilsson changes sport again, back to cross country but this time Ski classics. Her biathlon career ends with one individual podium and one in relay.

My own 5 personal favorite gold moments: - Swedish expected gold and suprising silver (Ståhl and Pettersson) in men's discus Throw 2021 - Swedish women's cross country relay gold 2014. Kalla 25s behind gold and silver when she started the 4th leg. - Jonna Sundling, dominating golf in sprint cross country 2022. Because our Grand fathers are cousins I feel a bit extra for her. - Stefan Holm, gold in Men's high jump 2004. I was 9 year old and it is one of my first olympic memories and it was special because Sweden won 3 golds in athletics within 24 hours. - Team Hasselborg, gold in womens curling 2018 a was watching from one of the team members home together with her family. If I should consider non-golds I would like to include the Swedish silver in mens handball 2012 because I was there attending the semi final win against Hungary. for swedes in general maybe: - Ice hockey gold men 1994 - womens relay cross country 2014 - Gärderud gold and world record 3000m steeple 1976 - The 3 gold medals in athletics 2004 within 24h: Holm (M HJ), Olsson (M TJ), Klüft (W Hpt) - any of Ingemar Stenmarks gold medals in alpine skiing

Individual gold in a team championship Seems off. Especially because (without knowing) I assume Sweden had no other team members.

Interesting about the previous discus world record holder is that Shult only threw over 70m one other time in his career

14 men achieved the olympic standard in discus and 8 of them with results from this competition

2nd in the very first major and working the first yesr as professional by Ludvig Åberg! Made me interested in golf for the first time in forever!

Wow! Even if it is an arena that charges the direction of throwing based on the wins and it was 21 m/a and it is strange that they don't have rules such as the sprints and long jump/triple jump, it is still very impressive and would have been interesting to see Ceh and Ståhl here too.

Let's hope so! And from my view as I know most of the swedes, they are quite good people too😄 also liked team Fujisawa very much since their first WCH final. And and the only time I have interacted with Fujisawa, short by the coffe machine at a hotel breakfast she seemed like a very sweet person. Homan a bit more difficult to get close to and get a picture of while I mer her but such a great player!

Grand slam Players championship qualifiers: women: Direct to semi: Homan-CAN, Wranå-SWE to QF: Gim-KOR, Tirinzoni-SUI, Kim-KOR, Hasselborg -SWE men: direct to semi: McEwen-CAN, Mouat-SCO to QF: Edin-SWE, Gushue-CAN, White-SCO, Retornaz-ITA

Already yesterday Gushue got revenge on Edin after the world final, Winning the group stage game in Players championship. Mouat going strong winning against both Gushue and Edin.

Sweden finished 5th last year ;)

I like the ranking system even if I agree with you. Like my team, could probably be top-50 instead of 116 if we played more abroad. I think the formula is quite good where tournaments are worth more depending on the strength of the opponents. However it should really only count the strenght of those you finish ahead of. An example is the swedish championship this year where the gold was worth much less points than the silver or bronze last year. The only real difference was that Edin did not participate, and should you really get more points just because the team/s ahead of you are stronger. A gold without Edin should be about the same value as a silver without. However if you are invited to the very most awarding tournaments- the grand slams- that is based on rankings and not special invitations. Goesgens btw won Sun City Cup in Karlstad recently where Edin came 3rd and Klima didn´t qualify for playoffs.

Goesgens are ranked #31 and Klima #63 on the world ranking so not so surprising, but of course Netherlands have always been better on tour than when they have played championships.

Öberg sisters finished 5th in single mixed at Swedish champs. Only 5 seconds from silver. Apparantly Two girls in a team was accepted Peppe Femling won gold in his very last race, in team with girlfriend Anna Magnusson.

Öberg-sisters will compete together in the single mixed relay in the Swedish championship. Will be interesting to see against the real mixed teams
