Elvira Öberg will be joined by her sister Hanna Öberg, Anna Magnusson and Linn Gestblom in the race. This means that Ella Halvarsson and Anna-Karin Heijdenberg will not get the chance to run their first Olympic races.
"We have a very even squad. It was brutally tight between Linn (Gestblom), Ella (Halvarsson) and Anna-Karin (Heijdenberg). Linn had a perfect race when we had a test race against the Germans and she has shown very good form," says national team coach Johannes Lukas at a press conference.
On the men's side, there is the expected team. Sebastian Samuelsson, Martin Ponsiluoma, Jesper Nelin and Viktor Brandt will run the 20-kilometer distance race, which will be decided on Tuesday.
