What a great olympic games – and so nice that it took place in Europe so we didn’t have a time-difference to consider.

The Swedish team had set up a goal of 12 medals and managed to win 11;

• Gold:
  Sarah Sjöström, 100m freestyle swimming
  Sarah Sjöström, 50m freestyle swimming
  Armand Duplantis, pole vault
  David Åhman / Jonathan Hellvig, beach volleyball

Silver:
Victor Lindgren, 10m air rifle
Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler, Womens skiff, 49er FX (sailing)
Truls Möregårdh, tabletennis
T Möregårdh, K Karlsson, A Källberg, tabletennis, team men

Bronze:
Tara Babulfath, judo, 48 kg
Jenny Rissveds, 30k cross country mountainbike
Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson, sailing, 470 mixed

We tried to stay up and watch the grand finale and ending of the olympics, but it was a bit too late for us so we’ll watch the last hour on line afterwards. France has really delivered and the games have been great with maybe the exception of the swimmers getting sick after being in the Seine.. Next summer olympics will be in Los Angeles. Can’t wait!
