2024

MESSAGE FROM TEAM 8 – SWE:

With sincere sadness Team 8 has come to the decision to withdraw from One Water Race 2024. Throughout the winter and spring we have been all set on improving our performance from 2023, to compete for the podium and finally reach Landsort in 2024. However, the last months there have been serious setbacks. Henrik is going through a serious family matter that requires his complete dedication and Pär is battling an importunate knee injury. It is clear that we will not be able to complete the extensive preparations  necessary to compete at the level expected from ourselves, our supporters and the race organization. On the contrary, summer 2024 will focus on healing and coming back even stronger in the future. We wish to thank the OWR organization, our sponsors and all our supporters for believing in us. Thank you! Finally, we wish all the remaining teams successful preparations and an amazing adventure in the archipelago. We will follow and support you all.

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 learnt from military, they are a complete team to take on the adventure of one of the toughest races in the world.
