2024 Team Launch Team 8 – SWEDEN

Introducing TEAM 8 – SWEDEN

This Swedish team has a long experience in endurance racing and knows the Stockholm archipelago very well. Pär and Annika have a great track record in triathlon and swimrun and have done large sections of the course before. With Henrik’s navigation and multisport skills, and Joakim’s support skills from military, they are a complete team to take on the adventure of one of the toughest races in the world.

Building on the experiences from 2023 and another year of dedicated training our ambition is to improve in order to compete with the top teams. We also believe that the One Water Race is a great way to inspire people to accomplish things that at first may seem impossible.

 

 

 

 

After getting injured in OWR 2023, I’m determined for revenge.

To swim and run through days and nights in Stockholm’s fantastic archipelago. To be with the nature and with good friends for an extra ordinary long race and adventure that really requires something extra.
