Ebba Andersson Honored at Home After Olympic Triumph with Four Medals

Ebba Andersson received a heartfelt celebration in Solna, near Stockholm, following her outstanding performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Val di Fiemme. The 28-year-old cross-country skier returned home having secured a remarkable total of four medals: one gold and three silvers. Her gold medal victory in the classic 50km race was particularly poignant — a significant moment of redemption after she had fallen twice during the relay race, which led to Sweden losing the gold in that event. Despite also falling during the 50km race, Andersson demonstrated dominance and resilience by overcoming the setbacks to win gold.

In addition to her gold, Andersson earned three silver medals in the skiathlon (20km), 10km freestyle, and relay events. Reflecting on her emotional journey, she shared, "The gold means a lot. And if it hadn't been for this fatigue and emptiness, battling with the little energy that was left, I might have shed a tear or two." Her words underscore the physical and emotional toll that the Olympics took, despite her triumphant haul of medals.

The homecoming celebration marked an emotional and proud moment for Andersson and Swedish fans alike, honoring the skier's persistence and excellence on the world stage.
