The news channel met with a surveyor. After measuring the tallest straw on the buck with a laser twice, the surveyor was able to determine that this year's buck is only 10 meters and 6 millimeters high.

Even though the trestle is three meters short, the Gävle trestle is still taller than the trestle in Stockholm, which is eight meters, according to P4 Gävleborg.
