National team leader Johannes Lukas has selected all five ladies for the upcoming WC.

The sisters Elvira and Hanna Öberg, Linn Persson, Anna Magnusson and Mona Brorsson get the chance in the Czech Nove Mesto.

However, Lukas has so far only chosen three men - Sebastian Samuelsson, Martin Ponsiluoma and Jesper Nelin.

Who clinches the last two places will only be decided after the Biathlon European Championships.

- We have felt in recent days that the fourth and fifth names are not ready.

We want to see the others in the EC, says national team leader Johannes Lukas.

- Surprising.

But at the same time, I buy the reasoning, says SVT Sports expert Helena Ekholm.

The championships are broadcast on SVT

The Swedish men who have been selected for the Biathlon European Championships and who are fighting for the last two WC places: Anton Ivarsson, Emil Nykvist, Oskar Brandt, Henning Sjökvist, Malte Stefansson, Peppe Femling and Viktor Brandt.

The EC will be decided from January 24-28 in Brezno-Osrblie, Slovakia, and the WC will be decided between February 7 and 18 in Nove Mesto.

Both championships are broadcast on SVT.
