Palmlöf speaks out: "I won't drink"

The big talking point from the Sports Gala became Olle Palmlöf's interviews with Armand Duplantis and Sarah Sjöström – where the TV profile appeared to be clearly intoxicated. Something he now confirms in the podcast "Ekstedt sport".

In the beginning it went well, then I drank wine and then it went a bit worse, says Palmlöf.

He has kept a low profile since the incident.

I've received a lot of texts and calls. But I'm not answering.

When asked what he has learned from all this, the answer is clear.

I won't drink.

SVT distanced itself from Palmlöf's behavior after the gala and also decided to unpublish the content.

The one who is the head of the gala has messaged and asked about the situation. But I haven't spoken to anyone at SVT, says Palmlöf.
