+ Will Sweden win another skiing gold?
A sure relay gold went to naught when Ebba Andersson fell, flipped and lost a ski. Thanks to sprint star Jonna Sundling on the final stretch, it was still a Swedish silver. If everyone stays on their feet, there are few who can threaten the Swedes in Wednesday's sprint relay. Maybe the women's cross-country skiing team's fourth gold will come then. Sundling is racing alongside Maja Dahlqvist - for the men, Edvin Anger and Johan Häggström are starting.
+ Will the women's biathletes hit the mark?
The Olympics have not been a success for the Swedes, who have Hanna Öberg's eighth place in the pursuit as their best result. However, all Swedish skiers improved there compared to the sprint, and in terms of time Elvira Öberg was the fastest overall, and Anna Magnusson had the third-fastest time on the course. If the shooting holds up, there are good conditions for a Swedish medal in the relay.
+ Three Crowns against the USA
The men's ice hockey team had to take the long road to the quarterfinals after finishing third in the group. Yesterday, Tre Kronor knocked out Latvia in the round of 16 and tonight they face the USA, who were ranked second overall after Canada when the group stage was completed.
+ Hector is chasing a new medal
It was a shared silver in giant slalom for reigning champion Sara Hector. This came after two improbable runs in which she and Norway's Thea Louise Stjernesund had exactly the same time in both runs. In Beijing four years ago, the Swede also had gold in the slalom, but crashed out at the end of the second run. On Wednesday she gets another chance. Anna Swenn Larsson also has a chance at a medal.
