At Freolaskolan in Frölunda, on Saturday 16 finalists announced who would take home the title of Swedish champion in football freestyle.
After the eighth quarter and the semi-finals, it is clearly between two people. Last year's champions Viktor Olofsson and Jojje Lindgård. After a tough final match it was clear, Viktor Olofsson defended his title as Swedish champion.
- It feels really nice, it was nice to pick home the victory again. It was a relief, of course. It felt good all the way and I had been training very, very hard. I felt in good shape and had most of it under control, says Viktor Olofsson.
Now the final in Miami is waiting for November 15, where finalists from some 50 countries will meet. Until then, it is even harder training that applies.
- Last I finished top 8. You train a lot a lot before, I'll try to train on some new stuff, new combinations. When it starts to approach it is most repetition. It will be a full-time investment with 2-4 hours of training every day combined with physique and stretch because it is easy to break when you exercise so hard, says Viktor Olofsson.
