Stronger and more stubborn than most people as well. Maybe he will come to the next tournament. He has played in the Swedish Student's Championships in badminton, and did very well there. A guy who is missed and will be even more missed if he his wife and kid don't show up in Gothenburg very shortly!! Maybe he will run Gothenburg half marathon race in May? Grabbarna grus racketlon tournament in January 2008?
28) Jonas Öhlander
Another guy who we miss a lot. When will he be playing with us? Very shortly, we hope. Gothenburg half marathon race in May? The English and Swedish teacher has played a lot of tennis. Is very strong in most racketsports. Can be a black horse in the next Grabbarna Grus Tournament? Dangerous opponent actually. Jonas you will have to drag yourself here in January, 2007. It will be good, trust us.

Lars kept his promise and beat Oskar 2006. It will indeed be interesting to observe Håkansson and Isacsson's game next year 2008. Will Isacsson strike back? Here is a better close-up of Mr Håkansson.
Mr Stranne works as a Spanish teacher, and he is doing that extremely well. He is also a very good musician. Peter has taken part in two Grabbarna Grus Tournaments, playing very well, loosing just by one point in the finally game against Håkansson. "I will beat him next time, says Stranne".

The friendly girl-hunter and world-traveller, Victor Lövgren, made his debut in Grabbarna Grus Tournament this year, he fought bravely. Apparently he is going to practise before next time so he can beat his brother, Oscar Lövgren. It will be interesting to see if can achieve this in the next tournament. This will not happen because he will play together with him. Interesting. Here is another photo of Mr Lövgren in action. Recently Victor travelled around in South-America for a long time, cool.
The technical and friendly Oscar Lövgren did his debut in Grabbarna Grus Tournament in 2005 and also played it in 2006. Oscar lives in the legendary, Kålltorp. He did very well in his first appearance, beating his brother in the final game. "I will beat him again next year, said Oscar confidently". It will indeed be interesting to see if he can reach that goal next year, 2007. He never got to play him in 2006 but he beat Rille in the final round.Here is another photo of Mr Lövgren. Maybe he will beat his brother in 2007? This will not happen because his brother and him will play together in 2007. Interesting.
Mr Johansson is a true racketlon player. He did very well in his Grabbarna Grus debut, 2005, he came third. In 2006 Johansson played well again. Roger's favourite sports are table-tennis and badminton but he is working on his tennis and squash as well. He climbs the racketlon rankings the whole time.

Here is another photo of mr Johansson in action.
The writer and dedicated teacher, Mr Åberg, to the left, did very well in his racketlon debut, 2005. He commented on the tournament afterwards and he said he loved it.

We also wish him luck in all his future projects. This man has got some great ideas and we are sure he will go through with it. Here is another photo of Mr Åberg.

Hylén who is also called, "Hyllan",. will hopefully turn up to the next tournament, 2008.
The friendly and focused Daniel lives in Lindome and has a very nice girlfriend. Majetic is one of Lindome's strongest table-tennis players and a future racketlon hope. His racketlon improves rapidly. He will be a threat to anyone in 2007's Grabbarna Grus Tournament.

He has now started to play competitively again and he is ranked among the 15 best in Gothenburg. He plays Table-tennis for Gothenburg Racketlon Club. Sjöstrand will be a threat to anyone in 2007's Grabbarna Grus Tournament.
Johan Hagelqvist is definitely a new racketlon hope in Gothenburg. He is focused and determined. Hagelqvist competes with Gothenburg Racketlon Club in Table-Tennis and he will be a threat to anyone in 2007's Grabbarna Grus Tournament. His friendly dad, Björn Hagelqvist, is a strong as Johan in Racketlon. They are both winners.
