Swedish European Championship bronze in the 470 class

However, it could have been even better for the already Olympic-ready duo.

Before the end, Dahlberg and Bergström were on the same points as the Spaniards Jordu Xammar and Nicolás Rodríguez, which paved the way for a silver battle between Spain and Sweden.

But the company Xammar / Rodríguez was faster and finished fifth and thus took home the European Championship silver.

Won the World Cup earlier this year

The Frenchmen Kévin Peponnet and Jérémie Mion were last of all boats on Friday but had a sufficiently large lead for the day and were able to salvage the European Championship gold.

European Championship winners Peponnet and Mion, on the other hand, did not win the entire competition.

Overseas crews also participated in this week's open European Championships, where New Zealand's Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox were number one.

Dahlberg / Bergström, who is a big Olympic hope before the games in Tokyo, took gold in the World Cup in the 470 class earlier this year.

That competition was also decided in Vilamoura.
