The Swedish Paralympic Committee announces that the squad for the games in Milan and Cortina in March is growing with nine more names.
Those who get tickets are alpine skier Arvid Skoglund, cross-country skiers Ellen Westerlund (debutant), Alice Morelius (debutant) and Arnt-Christian Furuberg (debutant) as well as wheelchair curlers Viljo Petersson Dahl (skipper), Kristina Ulander, Ronny Persson, Sabina Johansson and Marcus Holm.
“Investments are starting to pay off”
– It makes me very happy and proud to be able to introduce three debutants to the Swedish squad. It’s been over 20 years since we had such a large national cross-country team at the Paralympics, which proves that our long-term investments are starting to pay off, says squad leader Niclas Grön in a press release.
Since before, Ebba Årsjö (alpine), Aaron Lindström (alpine) and Zebastian Modin (cross-country skiing), with guide Emil Talsi, are in the squad.
The games are broadcast on SVT
At the last Paralympics, Sweden won two golds, two silvers and three bronzes – Sweden’s best Winter Games in 20 years.
The 2026 Paralympics run from 6–15 March and the Swedish team will be announced on 24 February.
The games are broadcast on SVT.
