Coming into the Olympics, longtime teammates Åhman and Hellvig were ranked No. 1 by the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Rankings. Once they got to Paris, they proved that they deserved that ranking.

The two dropped two early matchups in the preliminary phase to Qatar and Italy, but once the tournament started, they were unconscious. Sweden beat Cuba in three sets in the round of 16, Brazil in the quarterfinals and Qatar in the semifinals before advancing to Saturday's final against Germany.

Coming into the match, Germany had all the momentum. It hadn't lost through the preliminary phase and beat Brazil, The Netherlands and Norway on the way to the final. Once they faced off against Åhman and Hellvig, Ehlers and Wickler just couldn't get it done.

The gold-medal match was completely one-sided as Sweden won the first set 21-10 and the second set 21-13.

Åhman and Hellvig are both just 22 years old and playing in their first Olympics. After the way they dominated in Paris, it won't be surprising if the two can come home with another gold in Los Angeles in 2028.
