A packed Sunday awaits, with several chances for Swedish medals. From early morning until late evening, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and biathlon will be in focus.

Can Sweden surprise in skiathlon?

On Saturday, the women competed in the 10+10 km skiathlon. Now it's the men's turn. Norwegian skiers are among the favorites, and the question is: will any of the Swedes manage to surprise?

Mixed relay in biathlon

At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Hanna Öberg, Elvira Öberg, Sebastian Samuelsson and Martin Ponsiluoma competed in the mixed relay. Sweden finished in fourth place. Now we'll see if they will place higher.

Svante Kohala runs 3 and 4

In his debut for Sweden in luge at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, Svante Kohala finished in twentieth place. During the World Cup in Oberhof earlier this year, he finished twelfth. This is his second Winter Olympics with his sister Tove Kohala competing in the women's event.
