As expected, it was double Swedish at the top of the discus competition in Finnkampen.
Daniel Ståhl's throw of 65.34 was enough for victory.
When asked what the win means, Ståhl answers:
- It is historic.
It's fun to win.
It's bad results I'm doing, but we had as a goal to bring home serious points to Sweden and we succeeded in that, says the 30-year-old.
Pettersson: "Not a good result"
He won ahead of Simon Pettersson who was second with his throw of 63.76.
- It's not a good result, but I took the point and that was the most important thing, says Pettersson.
Together, they scored twelve points for Sweden - who won the discus competition with 13-9.
Montler won
Another Swedish star who coped with the favorite pressure on Saturday was Thobias Montler.
He won the long jump with his jump of 7.75.
- It's not a result I think about much.
It was just about the win today, says Montler.
Finland won the men's cross-country event 12–10.
