Sweden came fifth in the mixed relay in biathlon. But for the team, it was mostly about the fight for an Olympic spot. Johanna Skottheim took the chance.

"What I do at the shooting range is devilishly good," she tells SVT after flawless shooting in Nove Mesto.

The battle for the Olympic spot is between Skottheim and Anna-Karin Heijdenberg. Since neither of them qualified for Sunday's mass start, the national team management can make a decision now.

"We have a meeting tonight and will sleep on it. Then the skiers will be notified," says shooting coach Johan Hagström to SVT.

All parameters will be discussed. It is a very, very difficult decision.

Viktor Brandt and Malte Stefansson skied the last two legs. Italy won, ahead of France and the Czech Republic.
