Ebba Årsjö, a Swedish Paralympian, won three gold medals and one bronze medal at the Paralympics in Cortina, according to multiple reports. She dedicated her victories to teammate Aaron Lindström, who is currently hospitalized. The exact condition of Lindström has not been disclosed.
Årsjö expressed a strong reaction to the Russian national anthem, saying she wanted to avoid hearing it again. In a press conference, she stated, "I really wanted revenge." A video on the Parasportswe Instagram account shows a happy Årsjö sitting, though the context of the anthem reference remains unclear.
Viljo Petersson Dahl also won a bronze medal at the Paralympics, according to major media reports. He has been named 'month's resident of Jönköping' for March, a local honor. The total number of medals he has won is not specified.
The Swedish Paralympians were escorted by the Swedish Air Force on their way home and were honored at Stockholm Central Station in the evening. Årsjö described the celebrations, saying, "It was a hell of a party, I had to clean all the medals afterwards, I can tell you."
