- It is fantastic.

We played incredibly well throughout the tournament and I am so happy that we won this gold, says Mattias Falck.

It looked like it would be an overrun when Falck/Karlsson had 10-7 and three match points in the fourth set, but the Austrians fought back and saved five match points before it was over.

It was the first EC title for the reigning world champion pair after two EC silvers and two EC bronzes.

Now they join an exclusive group of players who have both WC and EC titles at the same time. 

- Congratulations guys, it was good.

What a feeling for them when they step into the singles, what a thing this can be, says SVT's guest expert Jan-Ove Waldner impressed.

All five Swedish men are still in the singles.

In the first set, Sweden lost 10-8.

In the second set, the Swedes stormed to 8-0 before the Austrians could take their first point.

After the merciless second set, the coach, national team captain Jörgen Persson, did not have much to comment on.

The set was over in three minutes. 

The numbers were written as 3-1 (10-12,11-1,11-5,13-11).
