Two Olympic silver medals in Paris. Two medals will also be achieved by Truls Möregårdh from the European Championship in Linz.

The 22-year-old will leave Austria with gold or silver in doubles.

In singles, the star has secured at least bronze, as the semifinal losers share third place.

Fantastic. Goosebumps. This is what I'm fighting for, he says to SVT.

You know how hard it is to play such matches. This competition is every other year, the Olympic Games are every fourth year. You don't get many chances and it's about taking them. 2024 seems to be my year.

Möregårdh reached the semifinal by winning against his compatriot and friend Anton Källberg with 4–2 in sets.

To meet in such a match, that it becomes so even... It's tough in many ways, he says.

I'm completely exhausted. It was a sick match and a long and sick day.

Earlier on Saturday, the duo stood on the same side of the table – and impressed in doubles.

After 3–0 against Mattias Falck and Kristian Karlsson, European Champions 2022 and World Championship gold medalists 2021, Möregårdh and Källberg are clear for Sunday's European Championship final against the French brothers Alexis and Felix Lebrun.

We both want to win the gold, then we fight side by side, says 27-year-old Källberg, also silver medalist in Paris, to SVT.

For Falck and Karlsson, the doubles loss meant a shared bronze.
