Max Ahlin took home the victory in the competition that was moved from Tofta shooting range to Hedeby in a time of 3.30.07.
– It feels so damn good, it’s hard to describe. My arms go numb after the first lap, so I just tried to stay calm, says Max Ahlin in SVT’s broadcast.
– It’s really big, Gotland means a lot to me.
He is praised by SVT Sports expert Anders Eriksson.
– I get shivers. I have followed that boy for quite some time and he has fought and fought, he says.
Second was Albin Gerhardsson and third place went to Albin Elowson.
