- This is the most difficult selection I have made.

We have such a wide squad that several variants were possible.

We shuffled the cards all night, says national team manager Anders Byström.

It was a tactical game before the Swedish team was released as late as possible.

After Norway chose to postpone its team selection from 09.00 to 17.00, Sweden followed suit and released at the same time.

Sundling won the individual sprint on Thursday and the sprint relay with Maja Dahlqvist on Sunday.

She is now rested for the relay where she can run the first distance.

Kalla, Andersson and Karlsson were considered given before the selection.

This means that Linn Svahn will not go.

Her only effort during the World Cup is from the individual sprint when she was eliminated in the semifinals.

- She has been in the discussion until the end.

It's tough that she is not allowed to go, but she takes it well, says Byström.

Svahn is left to possibly travel 30 km on Saturday.
