The 2026 Finnkampen became an athletics drama right to the finish line.
Four points separated Sweden and Finland before the women's final event in Finnkampen. Then the Swedes had a very strong finish and took home the competition. – I saw my chance and took it, says Alice Magnell Millán who won the 800-meter race.
The Finnish battle on the men's and women's side came down to the very last events. A hundredth of a second in the 1,500-meter race gave Finland the overall win on the men's side. But a giant run by Alice Magnell Millán ensured that the women's team had to throw Kajsa Bergqvist into the watery grave.
It was a thrilling decider in the Finnkampen on Sunday afternoon. The Swedish women turned around the deficit from Saturday and won for the second year in a row. But on the men's side, Finland won – by a hundredth of a margin.
