The women’s 4 x 7.5 km relay is set to continue the cross-country skiing program at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics this Saturday, with the Swedish team being the clear favorites. Coverage will begin at 12:50 PM local time, hosted by ETV and ERR sports portal commentators Tarmo Tiisler and Vahur Leemets, along with reporter Johannes Vedru. Throughout the Olympics, Sweden has dominated, winning 7 out of 9 possible medals, showcasing strong performances from athletes such as Linn Svahn, Jonna Sundling, and Johanna Hagström.

Prominent Swedish athletes have excelled, earning a clean sweep in the classic sprint and seeing Frida Karlsson win gold in the women's 20 km ski change and follow-up success in the 10 km free technique race. Despite the impressive showings, Johanna Hagström, who won bronze in the sprint, will not compete in the relay. Instead, the quartet of Svahn, Andersson, Karlsson, and Sundling are set to take on the course with high expectations. The Swedish team last won Olympic gold back in 2014 in Sochi, and they have secured silver and bronze in the two subsequent Games.

The competition is expected to be fierce, with teams from countries like Norway also poised to challenge Sweden’s dominance. The outcome of this event could help define the success of the Swedish women’s cross-country team at this Olympic Games, building upon their existing medal haul and aiming for further historic achievements.
