The King has made a strong impression at the Swedish men's handball matches. He was in the stands during the thrilling quarter-final against Denmark and loudly cheered on the Swedish national team. A picture taken during the game shows the King shouting loudly, Queen Silvia backing away, and a woman in front holding her ears.
- That's good, that's how it should be. It gives energy, absolutely, says the King to Sportbladet.
Queen Silvia about the King's roar:
- Yes, I'm a little deaf now. It's a bit funny. She's been interviewed in a lot of papers now. We met her [the woman who sat in front of them] yesterday. She waved and smiled, Silvia says.
