The men's relay had significant climbs with 270 meters of altitude over a total of 6.6 kilometers per runner.

At the first exchange, Sweden was in sixth place, but catching up with Norwegian Kasper Fosser proved too difficult for Emil Svensk on the final leg.

Svensk finished two minutes and nine seconds behind Fosser, and 40 seconds later, Switzerland took the bronze medal.

He shows that he is a world-class orienteer. I went out aggressively, but never got a glimpse of him, says Emil Svensk about Kasper Fosser in SVT's broadcast.

For Svensk, it was his third race in a short time in the European Championship.

It's tough, but that's how it's supposed to be. It's hard to run regardless of whether it's in 30 degrees here in August or in October in Sweden, so you just have to fight on, he says.

Sweden's third team finished in fifth place, and the second team came in sixth.
