Only 10 years ago, Joel Marklund covered his first Olympics, aged just 23. He’s had a meteoric career rise since and tells Keith Wilson what he’s learnt from shooting World Cups, winning awards and destroying cameras…
What have been some of your recent highlights?
I would definitely say the World Cup. I’m Swedish and having the Swedish team go so far in the tournament – I was supposed to be at Wimbledon from day one, but none of us really expected the Swedish team to go so far, so I only covered the second week of Wimbledon! It’s a very special thing covering your nation in a tournament like that, and I don’t know if I’m going to see it again in my lifetime. That’s the nature of the championships, you don’t know, and coming from a small country like Sweden, it’s very special.
Yes, and who would have thought that Germany would finish bottom of their group? No one could have ever called that!
True. It was nice to be there. I wasn’t covering that many matches, but I covered all of Sweden’s matches, which was five in total.
We shouldn’t talk about Sweden’s loss to England in the quarter final, but what was the best match you covered during the World Cup?
Oh, I think the round 16 match against Switzerland. We played very well in that match.
