Photographer Oskar Kihlborg presents this gallery of images from the 10th edition of Ice Cup in Sweden.

It was -10 degrees C but the snow was not a big problem for the 120 Vikings who turned up for the start.

However spinnakers were not allowed due to too much ice on foredecks and winch handles were used to hack off ice from deck.

The 25 teams raced in J92 boats and on Sunday six teams contested the final. The normal coin flipping between 'Dream Team' and Australian Tim Shuwalows 'Sweden Racing' was decided in a saucer or sledge race down the snowy slope to the water. Tim won that race but overall winner of the final was Team Tham.
