The relay teams for this weekend's World Championship relays in Lenzerheide are clear, and there were no Swedish surprises.

The Biathlon World Championship in Lenzerheide is approaching its end, and so far, there have been no Swedish gold medals. But hope is not yet lost.

On Saturday, it's time for both the men's and women's relay, where Sweden is one of the favorites to compete for gold. For the men, it's also about defending the surprising World Championship gold from last year.

In the World Cup, Sweden's women are first in the relay cup and the men are third. And in the World Championship, the expected teams are waiting on both the men's and women's sides.

The women's team: Anna Magnusson, Ella Halvarsson, Hanna Öberg, Elvira Öberg.

The men's team: Viktor Brandt, Jesper Nelin, Martin Ponsiluoma, Sebastian Samuelsson.

The women's relay (4x6 kilometers) starts at 12:05 on Saturday, and the men's (4x7.5 kilometers) begins at 15:05. On Sunday, the championship concludes with a mass start.
