SportsJonna Sundling is the favorite as Sweden's women's skiers chase another gold, and biathlete Sebastian Samuelsson aims for revenge. On Tuesday, Sweden has several chances to climb the Olympic medal table.
SportsFigure skaters Nikolaj Majorov and Milla Ruud Reitan make history, and Tove Kohala throws herself onto the luge track. In addition, the Wranå siblings can secure a blue-and-yellow curling medal. These are three Swedish highlights from Monday's Olympic competitions in Italy.
SportsSpeed skater Felix Monsén has not been allowed to participate in the Olympics. He was not given the nod by the Swedish Olympic Committee. Monsén is critical of the decision. "The justification is that I have not met the basic criteria to be allowed to compete," he tells SVT.
SportsThey lack recent results that would justify an Olympic spot. But the Swedish Olympic Committee is making an exception and selecting Jesper Tjäder and Henrik Harlaut, both former Olympic medalists, for the Games in Italy in February. "Now I'm on my way," Harlaut says. He has had major injury problems.
