How are the points counted in Finnkampen?

Six competitors compete in each branch, three from Sweden and three from Finland.

If a country finishes first, second and third in an event, the score in that event becomes 16–6.

In each discipline, points are counted according to the athletes' positions:

Place 1: 7 points

Place 2: 5 points

Place 3: 4 points

Place 4: 3 points

Place 5: 2 points

Place 6: 1 point

In relays, the winning team gets five points and the losing team two points.

Within the framework of the Finnkamp arrangement, a separate international match will also be decided.

Swedish participants: Perseus Karlström, Ato Ibáñez, Christer Svensson, Monica Svensson, Helena Sandmer, Linda-Louise Köld.

Finnkamp history

The Finnkampen had its premiere in 1925 and over the years has grown into a major prestige match between Sweden and Finland.

The international competition is held every two years in Sweden and every other year in Helsinki.

The Finnkampen is the only international athletics competition in the world that is still alive today.

How did it go in the last Finncamp?

Sweden won the Finnkampen 2021 at the Stockholm stadium.

It was a Swedish double victory in total - for the third year in a row.
