Switzerland included

The Swiss women have experienced mixed games so far. Laurien van der Graaff, Nadine Fähndrich, Nadja Kälin and Alina Meier are starting for the Swiss team and will try to fight for the top positions as long as possible. The Austrians do not provide a cross-country relay.

Germany with medal hope

The DSV quartet with debutant Katherine Sauerbrey, Katharina Hennig, Victoria Carl and anchor Sofie Krehl hopes to take advantage of the outsider chance and is flirting with a medal. The last time this happened was in Sochi in 2014, when the Swedes sensationally secured the bronze medal. Maybe there will be a similar surprise today? All four can show good results – Carl and Krehl made it to the semifinals in the sprint, Hennig and Sauerbrey convinced in the classic race over 10 kilometers. Hennig in fifth just missed the medals there.

The favourites

Who are the favorites over 4×5 kilometers? Definitely the Norwegians, who celebrated the gold medal in Pyeongchang in 2018. With Therese Johaug, the double Olympic champion runs in second place. However, things are not going as expected for the rest of the Norwegians. Also of note is the team of Finland and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).
