Henrik Harlaut has long been one of freeski-sport's big poster names, with a total of 13 medals in the X-games, of which eight gold, which is usually called the extreme sports Olympics, is Swedish history.

On Wednesday morning, Swedish time, Harlaut took his first Olympic medal.

In the first ever big air final in freeski for men, the Swede finished in third place.

The branch is that the skier performs arts in the air at high speed.

Now the bronze medalist is honored by the freeskiing national team's national team captain Niklas Eriksson.

- We said when we were up at the start that we have been waiting for this moment together.

We have trained very hard and been so focused, says Niklas Eriksson

The Freeskiing national team's demand to deliver after mainly large investments, has now given further results.

- A medal was the goal and we took a medal.

So I am very, very happy, says Eriksson.

On Tuesday next week, Sweden has new medal chances in slopestyle.
