Svahn: "Feels like we lost a gold – heartbreaking"

Sweden's women's cross‑country relay ended with Olympic silver after a dramatic fall by Ebba Andersson on the final leg. Linn Svahn, who skied the first leg and led into the handover with Andersson, described the outcome as "heartbreaking" and said it felt like they had lost a gold.

The short report notes the race outcome at the 2026 Winter Olympics: Sweden — pre‑race favourites — finished second after Andersson's fall cost them the victory. Svahn's immediate reaction was quoted in the broadcast and published story as she processed the disappointment.

Radiosporten provided the update from the Olympic cross‑country programme and linked to related coverage and commentary on the Swedish team's performance and reactions.
