Landin was another key to Denmark’s world title win in 2019, and was named the All-star Team goalkeeper after his stellar performance at the 2019 IHF Men’s World Championship. Alongside two other goalkeepers, Landin recorded the top save rate of 38% over the course of the competition and came in just two saves shy of making the most stops overall. Landin also ranked among the top three penalty-saving goalkeepers at Germany/Denmark 2019. 

Landin clinched two club titles with his German team THW Kiel in 2019, winning the EHF Cup and the German Cup, while finishing as runner-up in both the German league and the IHF Super Globe. At the Super Globe, he was clearly the top goalkeeper with 45 saves – 14 ahead of his nearest rival.
