+ Chance of an all-Swedish podium in the sprint

Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson have already won a gold and a silver after Val di Fiemme was colored blue and yellow. In the sprint there are new gold opportunities when Jonna Sundling competes in her favorite distance alongside three other Swedish skiers. On the men's side, the question is whether anyone can defeat the dominant Norwegian Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, who has won four out of four classic sprints in the World Cup.

+ Reigning Olympic champion steps in

When the Olympics opened, mogul skier Walter Wallberg was one of Sweden's flag bearers. Now the reigning Olympic champion enters the moguls qualification. On the women's side, Elis Lundholm is making her Olympic debut. The 23-year-old skier identifies as male but competes in the women's event and has not undergone gender reassignment treatment.

+ Sebastian Samuelsson is chasing revenge

In the biathlon mixed relay, Sebastian Samuelsson's medal chances were immediately dashed when he incurred two penalty rounds. In the men's 20-kilometre distance race, Samuelsson gets a chance for revenge.
