The day before the Olympic opening ceremony, the preview of the Winter Games in Italy continues. Now the blue-and-yellow women's national ice hockey team enters the tournament.

The Tre Kronor women are chasing an Olympic medal

Tre Kronor women last won an Olympic medal in Turin in 2006, taking silver after a semifinal win over the USA and a final loss to Canada. Now the Olympics are once again being held on Italian soil, and this time the ice hockey tournament is being played in Milan. Sweden begins the group stage against Germany.
