Swedish sailing duo targeting 2028 Olympic gold

Entities: Los Angeles · Magnus Grävare · Anton Dahlberg · Lovisa Karlsson · World Cup

Overview

In late July 2026, Swedish sailors Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson announced their aim to win the gold medal in the mixed 470 class at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The pair highlighted their recent successes—a world‑cup win in Hyères (2022), back‑to‑back European titles (2022‑23), and a bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Games—as the foundation for their Olympic campaign. They planned to use the upcoming World Cup series on the Olympic waters in Los Angeles (July) and the World Championships in Japan (August) as final preparation.

Six days later, at the World Cup event in Los Angeles, Dahlberg and Karlsson secured a bronze medal in the 470 class, their first competition together since the Paris 2024 bronze. Swedish federation coach Magnus Grävare praised their experience and adaptability to the varied LA sailing conditions, noting the result as a strong test ahead of the 2028 Games.
