Sweden is aiming to make up for the crushing defeat in the 15-kilometer skiathlon on Saturday. This is Sweden’s team to the sprint on Tuesday.

Sweden is heading into the sprint at the 2022 Olympics looking for revenge after Norway’s Therese Johaug won the 15-kilometer skiathlon on Saturday by a landslide. Sweden’s Frida Karlsson was fifth, 42.5 seconds behind Johaug, and Ebba Andersson finished 10th, nearly 1.5 minutes behind Johaug.  

But that’s history. On Tuesday, Sweden is on power play, coming into the sprint at defending Olympic champions from 2018.

Sweden’s Stina Nilsson won the women’s sprint at the 2018 Olympics. Nilsson is back in action at the 2022 Olympics, but this time as a part of the Swedish biathlon team.

The four Swedish men are hoping to qualify for the final, but on paper it will be difficult for any of these to challenge defending Olympic champion Johannes Høsflot Klæbo of Norway. 

The sprint at the 2022 Olympics takes place on Tuesday February 8, at 9 am (CET).
