Jonatan Hellvig cheers on sister Hanna at European Championship in Gothenburg

Beach volleyball star Jonatan Hellvig was supposed to play in the World Cup, but instead he is cheering on his sister Hanna Hellvig during the European Championship in Gothenburg. “Now that I’m home, of course I’ll come here and cheer,” says Jonatan Hellvig.

Sweden's women's volleyball team is in full swing at the European Championship on home soil. During Friday's opening match, the national team secured its first win in the group stage against Montenegro, after a strong performance from, among others, spiker Hanna Hellvig.

Her brother, Jonatan Hellvig, was in the stands to cheer on his older sister.

The plan was for Olympic gold medallists Jonatan Hellvig and David Åhman to play the World Cup in Montreal this week, but they had to withdraw because of Åhman's knee injury.

It's really fun to be here, says Jonatan Hellvig.

Sweden's next match is against Slovakia at 6:00 PM on Saturday.
