Swedish moguls continue to reap success. Not least through Filip Gravenfors, who was responsible for a success during the World Cup weekend in Georgia.
On Friday he came second and on Saturday he lost to the American Nick Page in the small final.

Despite that, he overtook compatriot and Olympic gold medalist Walter Wallberg in the overall World Cup. The 19-year-old is now three overall.
– It means an awful lot. It has been a dream since you were very small to be among the top and now I am. It’s hard to be in the moment sometimes, but I’m very proud, says Gravenfors to SVT Sport.
Aiming for the Olympics
Last year, Gravenfors won JVM gold and now he is aiming for the Winter Olympics in Italy in 2026.
– That has always been the big goal for me. When things get a little worse, I tend to zone out and think about the journey to the Olympics, because now is not the time for me to be the best. Then we’ll see if I qualify, but I will.
What’s next?
– I’m going home and relax, competing takes a toll on the psyche. Then there will be some training and on again in January.
