Defender representing the national team of Kazakhstan Viktor Svedberg is by far the longest player in this year’s World Cup with a reading of as much as 206 centimeters.
The length of Svedberg, who switched to the Kazakh national team in 2020, is amused on social media.
The International Hockey Association distributed a publication on Instagram, in which Svedberg can barely stand in the straight corridor of the Helsinki Ice Rink.
– Svedberg is just too long for the Helsinki hall, read in connection with the publication.
Svedberg is three cents taller than the second longest player in the tournament Marko Anttila. In addition to them, the two-meter border is punctured by Denmark Mathias Bau Hansen.
Svedberg, 30, is from Gothenburg but acquired Kazakh citizenship after moving to the country’s KHL club in Barys Nur-Sultan in 2018-19.
