Karl Johan Simon Dahl (born February 6, 1975 in Skövde ) is a Swedish beach volleyball player .

Career

Dahl completed his first international tournaments in 1997 with his long-term partner Björn Berg . In 1999 Berg / Dahl finished 41st at the World Championships in Marseille and 17th at the European Championships in Palma . The next year they lost to the Czechs Palinek / Lébl in the third round of the European Championship in Getxo with 15:17 and were eliminated against the Norwegian team Kvalheim / Maaseide . The Olympic tournament in Sydney ended for the two Swedes after two defeats against the Brazilians Zé Marco / Ricardo and the Spaniards Bosma / Díez after two games.

In 2001 they reached the first main round of the World Cup in Klagenfurt against the Americans Wong / Metzger . A month later they were defeated by the German duo Dieckmann / Slacanin in three sets in the losing round of the EM in Jesolo . Although they made it into the top ten in various open tournaments in 2002, they did not come in 13th at the European Championships . The most important tournaments of 2003 also ran differently. In the round of 16 of the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro , Berg / Dahl were only defeated by the later finalists Holdren / Metzger , while at the European Championships in Alanya they fell out in the preliminary round. They were more successful the following year in Timmendorfer Strand , when they reached the quarter-finals against the German duo Klemperer / Rademacher and took fifth place. In the Olympic tournament in Athens they had to admit defeat to the silver medalists Bosma / Herrera in the round of 16 . They then parted ways.

2006 played Dahl with Stefan Gunnarsson . The new duo missed the European Championship in The Hague and did not achieve any top placements.
