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 
 
 
 

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

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!

Hoping for Sweden-Canada finals 
 
Of course you probably already know that I like Team Edin on the men’s side (and to a lesser extent Team Schwaller), but I also really like Team Hasselborg on the women’s side (same for Team Fujisawa)

Another World Championships title for  and Team Edin!  
 
Congrats @Belle @Swewi

Sweden finished 5th last year ;)

Edin does it again. A 6th World Championships final in the last 7 editions (8 years though, considering the 2020 edition was cancelled due to COVID), and is also going for a 5th title in that same time period. What an incredible run he’s been on. 
 
This was the final I wanted heading into the event as them and Team Gushue are my favourite teams in (men’s) curling, very very happy with the outcome.

SWE nationals sprint
 
Linn Svahn won by 0.01s over Sundling. Ribom 3rd around 10 seconds behind them.
 
men:
1. Anger 2. Häggström 3. Ersson 

Has 250+ starters!  Hardcore!  
 
I remember about 20 years ago when I first started watching CC I was in a discussion on another web forum with a guy saying that it was a mistake for the FIS to get rid of the 50k TT. And I think he was right - we see huge gaps here, even between the experienced guys, never mind the club amateurs.

Pretty sure Jonnas race today would have won in WC too.
Would have finished 25th in mens race before world junior medalist Anton Grahn among others.
 
10 km classic individual start men:
1. Edvin Anger
2. William Poromaa
3. Jens Burman
