This became clear after the International Ski and Snowboard Federation awarded Sweden a quota place. This means Sweden will also have a full men's team of eight skiers at the Olympics. Sweden had previously been guaranteed seven places on the men's side and eight on the women's side in skiing.

William Poromaa, Edvin Anger, Alvar Myhlback and Anton Grahn have already been selected. This means three of the four sprint spots are taken, while the distance spots are even more open.

It gives us the opportunity to bring in someone who is a specialist, says national team manager Anders Byström to Aftonbladet.
