In Athens in 2004, Carolina Klüft, Christian Olsson and Stefan Holm organized three Swedish Olympic gold medals in athletics.

Since then, there has been a medal drought at the Olympics for the Swedish athletes - until Saturday's discus final in Tokyo.

It was a perfect start for the athletics part of the Olympics - which is also Karin Torneklint's last championship as national team captain before Kajsa Bergqvist takes over.

- It was absolutely fantastic, it was magical.

You hope in your wildest fantasies that it will go as it did, says Torneklint.

- Daniel has a huge pressure on him to succeed and then Simon sneaks under the radar and takes the chance.

Magically.

TT: Athletics has just started here in Tokyo.

What does this start mean for your squad?

- I think it is very important for everyone.

It gives inspiration to the whole squad.

- Daniel shows that it is possible to succeed with a favorite, it gives a lot of energy for everyone.

Then Simon shows that even if you may not have been nominated for a medal before, you can take the chance.
