The Swedish first team – consisting of Johanna Ridefelt, Hanna Lundberg, and Tove Alexandersson – finished third after winning Switzerland and second-place Norway.
Ridefelt on the first leg changed as second. For Lundberg on the second leg, it became much heavier. After a mistake at the fifth control, Sweden dropped to fifth place.
I didn't get anything together. I just got stressed and turned around, so I don't even know if I was at the same control. I have no idea, she says to SVT.
After the leg, she was visibly disappointed.
Right now, I'm just so desperate because orienteering isn't fun. I just feel a lot of pressure and I can't focus like I usually do. I think I need to go home to mom and dad.
But it was still a Swedish medal.
Tove Alexandersson on the final leg was a good bit away from being able to threaten the two top spots. But the Swedish superstar finished third and secured a Swedish bronze medal.
This in really bad weather in Mór, Hungary.
A thunderstorm with both rain and hail made it extremely slippery in the forest. I actually felt physically fit. But I got a bit stressed about not being able to run and just slipping around. So then the orienteering suffered a bit, she says to SVT.
