In connection with an Olympic Games celebration in central Stockholm, the stars faced off against each other. Visitors also got the chance to challenge themselves in both table tennis and volleyball.

I think it's going to be tough. They look fierce, says Hellvig and gazes out at the crowd.

This is going to be awesome!

David Åhman adds:

We'll see if we can teach them something!

There were also some balls against other Olympic heroes. Beach volleyball stars Åhman/Hellvig met sailor Anton Dahlberg and table tennis player Truls Möregårdh in volleyball.

Möregårdh was eager to meet Åhman/Hellvig – but skeptical about his chances against the gold duo.

I think it looks really bad. But I hope it looks bad for them at the ping-pong table too. So it'll probably even out, he says with a laugh.

Dahlberg took bronze in the Olympic Games in Paris, Möregårdh took two silvers, and Åhman/Hellvig took one of Sweden's four golds.
