Regborn ran extremely smoothly, and basically did not miss any of the 30 controls.

- He is very structured and analytical, says SVT's expert Mats Troeng.

Regborn already has an EC bronze in the long distance, but no gold, and thus has one of his best races in his career.

- I do not understand anything.

I'm so lost in my head.

I'm so tired, he says after the finish. 

Regborn was denied the middle distance selection yesterday, something he used as fuel today.

- It was a desire for revenge.

I just had to put it behind me and get the anger from yesterday with me and do something constructive today, he says.

It is the first time since 2004 that Sweden has won gold in a men's orienteering championship.
