The Swedish team consists of Viktor Brandt, Jesper Nelin, Martin Ponsiluoma and Sebastian Samuelsson. They are the same team that finished fourth at the World Championships last year.

After Ponsiluoma's gold run, former Norwegian biathlon star Tarjei Bø said on NRK that he was a little worried about Sweden in the relay.

I agree with that. I guess they will unfortunately be counted out, says Johannes Dale-Skjevdal, who himself has been picked for the Norwegian team.

However, Sebastian Samuelsson believes that it will be difficult to reach the top medals.

France and Norway are big, big favorites, but we have a great chance, he says.
