A ROYAL WELCOME
With King Carl XVI Gustaf watching, Peppe Femling,
Jesper Nelin, Sebastian Samuelsson and Fredrik Lindstroem teamed to help Sweden win the men’s 4x7.5-kilometre relay by 55.5 seconds over Norway.
“I’ve lost my voice. It’s absolutely fantastic,” Samuelsson told Olympic.org. “It’s a dream come true. It’s a cliché, but that’s what it really is.”
Germany took bronze, marking the seventh time it has medalled in the event in the last eight Olympics. Martin Fourcade fell short in his bid for his fourth Olympic gold medal in South Korea as France finished fifth. Canada’s team of Christian Gow, Scott Gow, Macx Davies and Brendan Green finished 11th.
