Anton Grahn led Mora to victory as Calle Halfvarsson fell

During the Swedish Championships in Kalix, Anton Grahn helped Mora secure a win in the sprint relay after Calle Halfvarsson fell.

Halfvarsson, who had placed 51st in the 10 km event the previous day, got tangled with a competitor before tumbling in the final curve of the relay. Despite this, Grahn managed to maintain his composure and secured victory ahead of Rehns BK's Erik Bergström.

"I went for it and hoped for the best," said Bergström, who caught up to Grahn but couldn’t secure the lead. With Grahn pulling ahead in the last uphill, he managed to create a lead that allowed them to finish strong and take the gold.

Grahn expressed relief and satisfaction in securing victory for his team despite the chaos of the race.
