He also ran in the cross-country race at the Antwerpen Games, coming home in 24th place overall and the fifth-best placed Swedish athlete. Sweden won the bronze medal in the team cross-country race but Hedwall was not awarded with a medal as only the top-three individual placings counted towards the result.
