Radiosporten highlights Sweden’s ten biggest medal hopes for the Milano–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and concludes that cross‑country skiing clearly leads the way.

  • With 100 days until the Games, the women’s cross‑country team is seen as Sweden’s strongest department. The article points out that Sweden’s women won all gold medals at last season’s World Championships, and those world champions naturally feature on the Olympic shortlist.
  • The outlook builds on recent championship form and Sweden’s record performance at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, where the nation claimed eight golds and 18 total medals, the best tally in its history.

The piece is an overview of medal expectations rather than a results report, underscoring how cross‑country skiing is expected to anchor Sweden’s medal ambitions in 2026.
