The men's biathlon relay, the Three Crowns with a knife to their throat, and a star-studded snowboard final are on Tuesday's Olympic schedule.

+ After Ponsiluoma's gold - the biathletes run a relay race

After a weak start to the Olympics for the national biathlon team, the ice was broken by Martin Ponsiluoma's gold in the pursuit. Now the Swedes are chasing new success in the relay.

+ Win or lose for Tre Kronor

Sweden, despite all the NHL stars, has not impressed in the Olympics. After Denmark's win against Latvia, it will be Latvia who are the opponent in the round of 16. They should not be able to threaten Sweden - but they won a landslide victory over national team captain Sam Hallam's men in the quarterfinals of the 2023 World Cup.

+ Star-studded snowboard final

New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott is looking to defend her slopestyle gold from 2022. Among the contenders are veteran Anna Gasser from Austria and Japanese Reira Iwabuchi and Murase Kokomo, known for their advanced tricks.

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