The big talking point ahead of Sunday’s competitions is the ladies’ steeplechase. Superstar Lindsey Vonn will try to enter the history books once again, but this time it will happen without a functioning knee. Even though the cruciate ligament is off, she stands on the starting line. It is also reflected in the odds, where she has seen herself passed as favorite by the Italian veteran Sofia Goggia.
From a Swedish point of view, it is perhaps above all the mixed relay in biathlon that the eyes are drawn to, at least that is where Sweden has the greatest medal chance. If nothing unexpected happens, it is Samuelsson, Ponsiluoma and the Öberg sisters who drive. On paper, it is the strongest team in the track, if you can just keep it together on the rampart, it should be enough for a medal.
In men’s cross-country skiing, there is hope but perhaps no realistic chance. If you look at the odds list, it is not surprising that the four Norwegians are first, second, third and fourth. It is Anger and Poromaa among the Swedes who have the capacity to be on the podium when the form is there. So far in the season, neither Anger nor Poromaa have convinced, but you can always hope that they got the form right. It seems to be difficult to drive away on the track in Val Di Fiemme which speaks more for Anger than Poromaa. Indicates that taking the medal stands at 6.00 times the money.
