The Swedish team did not succeed in making a bang in the men's relay.
- It is not often you get the chance to go to these races and then you want to do better, says Gabriel Stegmayr after his third leg where he blocked five shots.
When the Swedish team was alternated on the fourth leg, they were up in a total of sixteen barriers and two penalty rounds.
Simon Hallström on the last stretch blocked six shots and was forced to two penalty rounds.
- It was sad that we ended up so far behind.
I get to go out and run intervals or something, I have a lot of strength left.
I heard that the lead was not so far away, so I thought I would stop a quick series but there was nothing further.
Today it is a real failure, says Hallström.
The Norwegian team, led by Johannes Thingnes Bö on stretch three, took home the victory before Russia (second) and Germany (third).
