Sweden were led to success by captain Andreas Jonsson and the returning Fredrik Lindgren, while Antonio Lindbäck and Linus Sundström also contributed vital points. With just two heats remaining it looked likely that Denmark would retain their title as they held a four-point lead over the Swedes. Kenneth Bjerre suffered an engine failure in heat 19 though, while Lindgren went on to win the heat and reduce the gap to a single point. Danish captain Niels-Kristian Iversen was then excluded from the final heat, and Jonsson won the re-run to secure a two-point victory for Sweden. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
