Two Swedes in the men's slalom

In his Olympic debut, 21-year-old Fabian Ax Swartz did not get off to a good start. But Ax Swartz now gets a new chance when he and Kristoffer Jakobsen compete in the slalom. Jakobsen has had a tough season and only in Kitzbühel on January 25 did he manage to finish both runs in the same competition.

The women's team dreams of a repeat

For the first time in twelve years, Sweden will play in the championship semi-final. There, the Damkronorna will face the USA. Sweden enters the match as clear underdogs. The last time they defeated the USA in a competitive match was the Olympic semi-final in 2006. It ended with a blue-and-yellow Olympic silver after a final loss to Canada.
