Organised sports have always played a massive part of the Swedish way of life, with people of all ages and background getting involved and finding a purpose." 96 youngsters will be fighting in each qualifier to win a place at the championship final - and get a chance to showcase their skill against the number 1 player in the world Ivan Lapanje.
