Roeiseland is surely not going to repeat Loginov’s mistake.  With Sola out should be an easy day for her.  Nilsson making up ground.

Stina Nilsson not doing her Olympic selection chances any good here.

She'll probably be nominated in any case. Skottheim is too slow and there is no one else. Brorrson gets 5th place and she gets 6th place. 
Since Magnusson and Persson are far away, a start in the sprint is not even unrealistic.

She should have the best chance in a sprint. She had 9/10 yesterday and even id the chance is very very small and the stability is not there, If she shoot clean she has a medal potential which I dont really think Magnusson and Persson has. However I wouldnt let her start in a relay or individual. And tbh the best swedes have not really been shooting very well this season either, just lucky they have improved Their ski speed.
