The Swedish Olympic Committee today presented several new names that will represent Sweden at the Olympics in Tokyo.
In the list we find, among other things, the women's and men's national handball team, wrestler Sofia Mattsson and shot putter Fanny Roos.
Sofia Mattsson secured a Swedish Olympic place last week during the qualifiers in Budapest.
- I am a winner's skull and every time I compete I want to win.
At an Olympics, anything can happen, there are a lot of nerves to keep in check.
With my experience, I get a little head start.
If I go home with a medal, I am very satisfied, Mattsson says to SVT Sport.
The shot putter Fanny Roos is also in the squad.
- It will be my first Olympics, competing in the Olympics is something I have dreamed of since I was little.
It will be fantastic, says Roos.
The complete squad will be unveiled on June 30.
