Erik Axelsson har løpt bra på nattaSesongen er skikkelig i gang. Med dagens 7-manna stafett, kan man si at sesongen definitivt er i gang. Med over 50 lag i herreklassen og 35 i dameklassen, er det bra deltagelse. Kanskje den beste på 7-manna noen gang. Med bl.a. OK Linne, IFK Gøteborg, Hakarp og 2 HSK lag i herreklassen blir det en spennende stafett. Likeså i dameklassen med blant annet Ulricehamn og Skogsfalken på plass.

Emil Wingstedt“I am taking part in the Swedish Championships 2009” Emil Wingstedt reveals. So far the Swedish rules have only allowed you to run a championship in one country each year.

As the board of the federation also approve of the change they will likely pass. “But things change a little slower in Sweden than in Norway, so it will probably not be possible to run both before next year”, Emil says.
