Jesper Tjäder praised by teammates: "So damn good"

Already eight years ago, the same year as he finished 24th in the Sochi Olympics, Jesper Tjäder won the slopestyle cup in the world cup.

But there had been no championship medal.

Until now.

"So damn good"

Too early on Wednesday morning, Swedish time, 27-year-old Tjäder took Olympic bronze in slopestyle.

Afterwards, he was really praised by his teammates.

- He's so damn good, I've been waiting for this.

It's fun that he gets it when it comes to most things, says the Olympic bronze medalist from big air, Henrik Harlaut, according to the news agency TT.

"Fantastic fun"

Harlaut, who failed to advance to the final, explains to Aftonbladet that it was annoying for him during the final.

- Definitely nervous to watch.

But fantastic fun that it became bronze.

We've done a great Olympics, the best so far.

Medal in both disciplines.

I hope this can inspire the kids back home.

"Best ride he has done"

Oliwer Magnusson, who had a tough final and finished eleven, was also impressed with Tjäder's performance.

- It was the best ride he has done.

I think it's the best ride he's done in his career.

All features were very good, says Magnusson, according to Expressen.
