The team was presented shortly after the men's distance race in Pokljuka ended.

Sebastian Samuelsson will drive the first leg, which means that Hanna Öberg will take the final leg.

- Hanna and "Sebbe" have run single mixed relay together during the two World Cups where it has been carried out and have shown that they are a strong team several times over.

Both are strong skiers and stable on a final stretch, so it feels good that the ladies get the chance to finish this year, the biathlon federation announces in a press release.

The single mixed relay in the biathlon world championships is run on Thursday and broadcast on SVT.
