The Swedish winning team

When the Swedish team received gold medals at Bokskogens GC a historic moment was made. Sweden's name will always be the first on the giant trophy.
- Sure, it feels a bit special to win the first Men´s Team World Handigolf Championship ever, said the Swedish coach Daniel Stark.

But truth to be told, it was not much of a fight the final day. The Swedish team, which consisted of Bjorn Ljunggren, Joakim Björkman , Johan Kammerstad and Jörgen Tjelander, was never threatened. They more or less crushed the other nations. The margin ended up 14 strokes before the silver team from Denmark.
Best in the gold team was, as usual, Johan Kammerstad. Despite strong winds - gusts up to 20 meters per second and rain, scored 73, +1.
- I'm very pleased considering how difficult the game really was today, said Johan Kammerstad happily.

The Danish team kept their second place and did a good performance the last day. And the team that was really happy and pleased with their game was Japan.
- It was really unexpected and I am so happy to get a bronze medal. We have all enjoyed Sweden and the tournament very much, said an excited Ryotaro Koike.

The price giving ceremony was magnificent with all teams in front of the club house and the trophy was giant.
- We all hope this Championship will continue. It will develop the golf and show that the game of golf is for everybody, said The President of The Swedish Golf Federation, Gunnar Håkansson.
