Jesper Svensson took Sweden's third gold at the European Championships in Helsinki, Finland, when he won the All Event with a score of 5,567. In the All Event, all 24 qualifying series over the various distances are included before a winner is crowned.
- It feels fantastically nice and glorious to win the All Event.
This indicates that I mostly kept a high level during the championship, says Jesper Svensson.
Svensson was also part of the Swedish team that took bronze in 5-man.
After winning the qualifier, they fell in the semifinals against the Netherlands and had to settle for the bronze.
- It feels sad that we do not give the Netherlands a worthy match.
We do very well in the qualifiers but do not reach the level in the semifinals, says Svensson who with today's two medals took a total of four during the European Championships.
In addition to Svensson, Pontus Andersson, James Blomgren, Markus Jansson, Martin Larsen and William Svensson were part of the 5-man team.
Sweden has now won six medals in the championship in Helsinki.
