Olympic Games gold in Paris. But at the World Championship tournament in João Pessoa, Brazil, it was only a third place for David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig.
The stars lost the semifinal against the Norwegian duo Christian Sørum and Anders Mol, 1–2, and then faced the Argentine brothers Tomas and Nicolás Capogrosso.
They lost the first set, 19–21, won the second with 21–18 and then secured the third place with 15–11.
It has been hard to play here considering the wind. Now it was not that much wind but rather extremely hot. We are used to snow and cold weather, so it was a bit tough, says Åhman in Viaplay's broadcast.
The Swedes have won four times on the World Tour this year and the tournament in Brazil was their first since the Olympic Games gold in Paris.
