About

Team 4 – SWEDEN

A carefully constructed lineup with elite experience and proven results, this team brings together world-class swimrun performance, navigation expertise, and first-hand race knowledge from the support boat. With an ÖTILLÖ World Championship–winning duo, an experienced navigator, and a supporter who already knows what it takes to reach the lighthouse, their foundation is built on both skill and insight.

Having trained and raced together in different constellations, they combine familiarity, trust, and a shared commitment to preparation.

Team 4 – SWEDEN

– Why do you want participate in One Water Race?

After years of watching the race livestream and preparing mentally for participating, we want to put ourselves to the test to see how we can handle this one-of-a-kind challenge.

– Which strengths make your team capable of succeeding in a race like this?

We believe we have the combination of strengths required to succeed all the way, from very strong swimrun athletes, an experienced navigator and a supporter who already knows exactly what it takes to get to the lighthouse. We already know each other well and live in close proximity to each other so we will be able to train and plan together.

– What are your weaknesses or areas of concern in this type of challenge?

How the team will handle the several days without sleep.

– What goals does your team have for participating in One Water Race?

Our main goal is to get to the lighthouse, ideally as the first team. To do this we understand that we need to focus on our own race, but also need to stay in contact with the front of the pack on the first day.

– Have you raced together as a team before? If yes, in what races?

Hanna and Johan have done many races together including winning ÖtillÖ WC in 2025. Johan and Mattias have also raced several swimruns together. Hanna and Johanna have trained together, including a tough 50 km session around a large lake.

– Is there anything else you would like to share?

Ahead of the race we plan to complete 24+ hour training sessions to practice how we react to having to navigate and perform with sleep deprivation. Mattias is a dual citizen Finland–Sweden and Hanna is a dual citizen USA–Sweden.
