Sweden has a star-studded squad, with many having participated in both the WC and EC this summer.

But the biggest star of them all, Armand Duplantis, has opted out.

- Herrfajten, according to the statistics, we are in a good position there anyway.

But of course we have to go out and deliver in real life as well.

On the women's side, it looks much tougher, and we must be clear that Finnish athletics is on the rise, says Bergqvist and continues:

- In recent years, we have been clear favorites on both the women's and men's side, but now it will be tougher.

A double victory is far from a given.

The squad is not yet completely nailed down, but it has been released in branch groups.
