+ Medal pressure on Ebba Andersson

Frida Karlsson has won two individual Olympic gold medals during the Winter Games in Italy and was a favorite to win a third in today's 5000m, but on Saturday it was announced that the 26-year-old will not be able to compete due to illness. Medalist Jonna Sundling also withdrew due to illness, the cross-country team announced on Saturday morning. The hope therefore lies with Ebba Andersson and Emma Ribom.

Andersson took silver behind Karlsson in both the skiathlon and 10-kilometer freestyle - now she is chasing her first individual Olympic gold in Val di Fiemme.

The women's curling team, Team Anna Hasselborg, already have two Olympic medals - a gold and a bronze - on their list of achievements. Their worst result is a silver in Cortina, but the Swedes are going for the gold in the Olympic final against Switzerland. When the teams met in the regular season, Sweden won 6-4.

+ NHL stars compete for the final gold medal

The Olympics conclude with one of the championships' highlights: the men's ice hockey final between archrivals Canada and the United States. The Canadians won their semifinal against Finland, the reigning Olympic champion, late in the game. The United States cruised past Slovakia to secure the final spot. This is the first time the NHL's top stars have been at the Olympics in twelve years.
