Wallbergs succéguld
A serious knee injury and three operations kept Walter Wallberg away from the humpback slope for 22 months.
But before this season, the 21-year-old was back.
Although he has never won the World Cup before, he was seen as one of Sweden's big medal jumps in Beijing.
A total of three Swedes were present when the humpback piste competition was decided.
However, Wallberg was the only Swede to reach the super final.
For Felix Elofsson and Ludvig Fjällström, the Olympic adventure ended already in final 1.
Once in the super final, the 21-year-old from Bollnäs struck with a huge run with a score of 83.23.
He thus secured the sensational Olympic gold before the reigning champion Mikael Kingsbury and the Japanese Ikuma Horishima.

Hector held for the favorite
Sara Hector came to the Olympics in Beijing as world cup leader in giant slalom.
That made her the big favorite when she stood on the starting line before the Olympic competition.
The 29-year-old from Sandviken also got off to a real dream start.
After the first run, she had the lead with three tenths and thus had a golden position before the second run.
After a long wait for his second run, Hector then held for the press.
The Swedish giant slalom star held a stable second run and ran in goal 28 hundredths ahead of the Italian Federica Brignone.
At the finish line, she stretched her hands in the air as the newly-crowned Olympic champion.

Sprintduons Successful OS
The sprint specialists Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist became the big Swedish joys in cross-country skiing during the Olympics.
The duo dotted their form perfectly before the championship and can now return home to Sweden with three Olympic medals each.
First, the favorite tipped duo offered a great show in the sprint.
Jonna Sundling took the gold in superior style before Maja Dahlqvist who drove into the silver place.
In the team sprint, there was a new medal for the duo.
The Swedish duo looked for a long time to be on their way to the gold medal but in the end had to settle for silver behind Germany.
It would also be a team medal for the Swedish ladies.
In the relay, the team with Maja Dahlqvist, Ebba Andersson, Frida Karlsson and Jonna Sundling drove into the bronze place after an impressive finish by Jonna Sundling.

Swedish biathlon medals
After a strong season, hopes were high for the Swedish biathletes in Beijing.
It was primarily Elvira Öberg who would deliver Olympic medals.
After losing medals in both the Mix Relay and the distance competition, the 22-year-old won Olympic silver in both the sprint and the hunt start.
The biggest success, however, would come in the ladies' relay.
The Swedish ladies with Linn Persson, Mona Brorsson, Hanna Öberg and Elvira Öberg stood for a super competition and secured the gold before the Russian team and Germany.
It was the first time ever that the Swedish ladies took Olympic relay gold.
In the end, it also became a Swedish medal on the men's side.
After a heavy championship, Martin Ponsiluoma got to the shooter in the final mass start.
The Swede came in for the last shot with a chance at the medals and managed to secure the silver medal after a strong finish.

Historic Olympic gold to Sweden - won the ladies' relay
The Swedish skating king
Nils van der Poel was one of the biggest pre-favorites of the whole game.
And the Swedish skating king withstood the pressure and took home double gold medals.
The first gold was picked at 5,000 meters - a competition that became a real thriller.
Nils van der Poel went out in the last pair and then had to beat Patrick Roest's time 6.09.31 to step to the top of the podium.
With four laps left, he was over two seconds behind the Dutchman Roest.
Then the Swede began his mighty end.
The last two laps were run at 29.01 and 28.97, which was enough to secure the gold medal.
The final time was 6.08.84, which was also an Olympic record.
If the gold at 5,000 meters was far inland, the 25-year-old's gold at 10,000 meters was a superior story.
Nils van der Poel completely broke his world record by over two seconds when he drove in at 12.30.74.
He thus secured his second Olympic gold and was almost 14 seconds ahead of runner-up Patrick Roest.

Three curling medals
Three medal chances - three medals!
The Swedish curling teams delivered at the top during the Olympics in Beijing.
For Team Edin's part with Niklas Edin, Oskar Eriksson, Rasmus Wranå and Christoffer Sundgren, the tournament ended in the very best way.
The Olympic gold was the only medal Team Edin lacked on the merit list.
After Olympic bronze in Sochi 2014 and Olympic silver in Pyeongchang 2018, the men's team finally got to step to the top of the podium.
The gold medal was secured after a thriller against Great Britain which Team Edin won 5-4 after the arbitration.
On the women's side, Team Hasselborg did not manage to defend their Olympic gold from 2018. The gold dream crashed after great drama against Great Britain in the semifinals.
But after the heavy semifinal loss, Team Hasselborg with Anna Hasselborg, Sara McManus, Sofia Mabergs and Agnes Knochenhauer managed to get up and win the bronze match against Switzerland 9-7.
It was also a Swedish bronze medal in mixed curling.
Oskar Eriksson and Almida de Val were Sweden's first mixed team in the Olympics ever.
After losing in the semi-final against Italy, the duo won the bronze match against Great Britain.
Swedish curling success in Beijing.

Sandra Näslund took revenge from the 2018 Olympics
Sandra Näslund had won almost everything in the World Cup in skicross this season.
As a result, she stepped into the Beijing Olympics as a big favorite.
A favorite that the 25-year-old lived up to.
Until the final, everything went smoothly for Näslund, who won all their heats.
Once in the final, she was on the starting line with Fanny Smith, Marielle Thompson and Daniela Maier.
Näslund took the lead immediately, kept the lead all the way to the finish and secured the Olympic gold.
The gold medal was a nice revenge for the 25-year-old who finished fourth in the Olympics in Pyeongchang 2018.
