Gustav Bergman is a World Champion twice, both in realy (2014 and 2019) and at both occasions he was running the anchor leg.
– It is something special to run the last leg, I really like it, Gustav Bergman tells Per Forsberg.

Sabine has been a part of the Swiss team for some years now and remembers both ups and downs in this meeting with Per Forsberg. Now she’s working at the same time as she´s trying to focus on orienteering. Not an easy task every day.
