Jonna Sundling is the favorite as skiers chase new Olympic gold; biathlete Sebastian Samuelsson is aiming for revenge; and in Cortina, curling siblings Rasmus and Isabella Wranå can take home the most prestigious medal. Today, Sweden has several chances to climb the Olympic medal table.

+ Chance of an all-Swedish podium in the sprint

Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson took Swedish gold and silver when the ski competitions began with the skiathlon. In the sprint there are new gold opportunities when Jonna Sundling enters her favorite distance and is challenged by, among others, Linn Svahn, Maja Dahlqvist - and Norwegian star Kristine Stavås Skistad. On the men's side, the question is whether anyone can defeat the dominant Norwegian Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. Alvar Myhlback makes an interesting start.

At 6:05 PM it's time for Rasmus and Isabella Wranå to try to advance to the Olympic final against the USA. Sweden lost to the USA earlier in the tournament and now has a chance for revenge.

In the biathlon mixed relay, Sebastian Samuelsson's medal chances were immediately dashed when he incurred two penalty loops. When the men's 20 km race is held, Samuelsson gets a chance for revenge.
