Sjöberg qualified for the 120-kg category in men's Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after winning the championship title at the World Qualification Tournament in Novi Sad, Serbia. He first defeated Poland's Marek Mikulski, and Azerbaijan's Anton Botev in the first two preliminary rounds. Sjoberg eventually upset Dremiel Byers of the United States, a former champion at the 2002 World Wrestling Championships in Moscow, Russia, with a surprising tactical score of 5–2, and a classification point score of 3–1, in the quarterfinal match. Following a heartbreaking defeat for Byers, Sjöberg fought against, and thereby lost to Cuba's Mijaín López, who emerged as the top favorite for this category, in the semi-final match, without receiving a technical score. Sjöberg qualified for the bronze medal bout, but finished in fifth place, after being defeated by Armenia's Yuri Patrikeyev, who scored three closing points in the last period to claim a medal.
