The 67th World Military Pentathlon Championship in Halmstad, Sweden was a success. Both on and off the competition arena - on a sportingly, organizationally and on a friendship level according to the championship motto “Friendship through Sport”.
SUCCESSES FOR THE ATHLETES
The favourite nations in advance has to a large extent met the expectations, but some surprises have also happened when the championship results are summoned. The Swedish competitor Siri Englund is now an individual World Champion in military pentathlon, despite a tough competition with some of the Chinese competitors for example. The whole Swedish team also won the silver medals while the Chinese team won the gold medals and Brazil came in third place.
- I can´t believe that we have done so well! It´s easy to loose focus and concentration in one discipline and that makes it harder to deliver in five disciplines, says Hanna Aho in the Swedish team. It´s a lot of mental pressure. We really gave it all in every discipline!
In the men´s competition Germany won the team gold medals before Brazil in second place and China in third place. In the individual competition there is a Brazilian World Champion.
