Magdalena Olsson finished the baton after Linda Lindkvist and Isabel Salén took care of the first two stretches. Olsson, who had previously taken two European Championship silver during the championship, started two seconds after Marina Vyatkina. Into the rally Magdalena Olsson was also a few meters behind, but she managed to get past the Russian and spurt water.
- It actually felt safe that I would take the sprint because it is flat here and as soon as it was flat out on the course I had a takeover against her, says Magdalena Olsson to the orientation association.
The Swedish men's team with Linus Rapp, Erik Rost and Markus Lundholm took bronze behind Russia and Finland.
