The blue and yellow national team trained on Monday evening for the first time in Nokia Arena in Tampere.
It feels good, we are here but we have not got our bags yet. Half of them did not come on the flight, because they changed flights at the last second, says Mikki Riipinen.
It was a bit annoying, we stood outside the plane and they said "we will not get all the bags, which bags are the most important?".
The players' private bags had to be sorted out when more important luggage was prioritized. Pelle Larsson and the other players could complete the first training session in the national team's basketball clothes, just as planned.
Now I heard that the bags are on their way from the airport (in Helsinki). I hope they arrive, says Riipinen.
Sweden starts the European Championship – the basketball men's first since 2013 – with a hot neighborhood meeting against the host nation Finland on Wednesday evening.
