DALLAS. Norwegian rowing has made headlines around the world.
The Swedish players are not impressed.
– We just sigh, says Gustaf Lagerbielke.
After the victory against Senegal, Erling Håland pulled his teammates together and did a synchronized celebration with the supporters.
The Norwegian rower has been seen in everything from Times Square in New York, to airplanes and in escalators.
The Swedish players have not missed the celebration.

– It can be reached by many things. It’s fun that they think it’s fun, says Gustaf Lagerbielke with a smile at Tuesday’s press conference.
What do you think?
– It is very similar to the Icelandic volcano, but whatever floats your boat.
“Has Kanna on”
Later during the press conference, it emerges what Lagerbielke really thinks.
– I will never do it. We just sigh. Perhaps mostly for the TV crew who choose to zoom in on it every time.
Should the Swedish supporters get a similar proposal?
– After all, we have “the know-how”, but if they want to run something, that’s fun. Obviously it works well for the Norwegians and it’s a good way to bring fans and players together. If someone comes up with a good one, just drive.
Elliot Stroud agrees.
– It’s probably a bit worn out. It feels like they run it every chance they get. But it’s going well for them.
The outer back holds the “Kanna på” chant higher than the Norwegian rower.
– Yes, I do. It is on another level, he says.
