+ New gold hunt in Val di Fiemme

Frida Karlsson and Ebba Andersson started the winning streak with a strong performance in the women's skiathlon. Linn Svahn, Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist responded by taking the sprint triple. Now awaits the 10-kilometer freestyle, where Sweden - with Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, Moa Ilar and Emma Ribom in the team - are big favorites to fight for the medals together with names like Jessie Diggins, USA, and Heidi Weng, Norway.

+ Walter Wallberg can defend Olympic gold

In Beijing four years ago, Walter Wallberg won Olympic gold in moguls. In Tuesday's qualifying, he finished sixth, and the Swede, who is on painkillers due to back problems, made it straight to the final without impressing. A little nervous, but according to the 25-year-old, there is much more to give. It will probably be needed in the final - where Olympic debutant Rasmus Stegfeldt also has a chance to make it through qualifying round 2.

+ The curling ladies make their entrance

Team Hasselborg comes to the Olympics with the gold from the European Championships in Finland in November fresh in their minds. In Pyeongchang 2018 they won Olympic gold, but in Beijing four years ago they had to settle for bronze. The team consists of Johanna Heldin, Sofia Scharback, Agnes Knochenhauer, Sara McManus and Anna Hasselborg. In the opening round, they will face Japan.

TV: SVT/SVT Play and TV4/TV12/TV4 Play - everything is also streamed on HBO Max. Radio: P4 Radiosporten/P3/the Sveriges Radio app.
