Swedish Results at Nordic Sports Day

On June 5 the first Nordic Sports Day was jointly arranged between Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. This year the activities were held at AISL. The weather was wonderful and the fighting spirit was overwhelming.

The negative part of the arrangement was the missing kids activities, but the pizzas, sausage rolls and Finish chocolate, as well as very nice trophies for the winners gave the arrangement a good potential for next year.
