They are fighting to win medals at international championships but are also teammates in OK Ravinen in Nacka.
Today they are up against each other in the sprint competition in the World Cup in Borås.
35-year-old Glebov was devastated when the war broke out on February 24 and could not train or focus on orienteering but has received support in the club and been able to find everyday life in experiencing the war from a distance.
- It felt bad to stay here in Sweden.
I felt that I should go to my homeland and fight, at the same time as I was afraid of losing my life, Glebov tells SVT Sport.
Calls friend at the front
During the interview, Glebov, who won Swedish Championship gold in sprint a week ago, picks up his mobile phone and calls his childhood friend Alexej, with whom he began to orientate.
He tells about the battles at the front and the conversation is broken with poor coverage.
When Glebov told about his thoughts, Sverigeettan Gustav Bergman acted decisively.
- I told him that he was not allowed to go but I understand him at the same time that he has the feeling that he needs help, but I advised him to stay here, Bergman explains.
To the start list in today's sprint.
