The opening stage of the World Cup will also be the home to Sweden in the men's field will be at the start of the Olympic year'' with big ambitions.

The Swedish Football Association announced the names of the athletes selected for the stage house. Although he has available 5 pectorals, the squad are 6. So it is likely that there will be turnover among the men of the second bracket.
BELOW THE PRESENTATION OF SWEDEN IN MALE, FEMALE IS ENOUGH FOR THE SECTOR CLICK ON THESE WORDS
SELECTED FOR ÖSTERSUNDARMGREN Ted (1988) Arwidson Tobias (1988) BERGMAN Carl-Johan (1978) FERRY Björn (1978) JONSSON Magnus (1982) LINDSTRÖM Frederik (1989)
Johan Hagström, head coach of the men's team, said bluntly that the'' target for the 2013/2014 season is to win a medal in Sochi. The goal is well within the ropes of the Swedish medals in the four major events in Vancouver 2010 and Nove Mesto 2013 they collected a total of 6, complete with a gold got just the last Games.
In fact Björn Ferry is the reigning Olympic champion'' s pursuit and will defend his title in Russia before hanging the rifle to the nail. The thirty-five Storuman has become over the years the largest Swedish biathlete of all time,'' but in the last two years has embarked on Sunset Boulevard at least as far as performance on narrow skis.
L'' excellent accuracy to the polygon has, however, allowed to remain afloat and still be competitive to go up from time to time on the podium. If you were able to find an acceptable physical condition, maybe just in time for Sochi, could treat yourself to the classic "Swan Song".
Ferry's ambitions are the same of contemporary Carl Johan Bergman, despite having had a parable quite different. The Swede in Norway (long lives in Lillehammer together with former partner biathlete Liv Kjersti Eikeland) lived in the 2011/2012 winter the best of his career, but is recovering from a bad 2012/2013.
Bergman in the past has proven to be able to resurrect after vintages negative, but in this sense Sjusjøen races have not been very encouraging. Not that good "C.J." retires at the end of the season, but for sure Sochi will be the'' last chance to shine in the Olympic area.
Those who will have many opportunities in the future Fredrik Lindström is that last year has definitely inherited from the two veterans on the role of number 1 of the movement. From the moment he made his debut in the World Cup, the twenty-four Östersund has always improved his finish in the overall standings at the end of the season and in 2012/2013 he finished seventh.
Unlikely to battle on equal terms with Martin Fourcade and Emil Hegle Svendsen in the long run, unless it is able to significantly improve its accuracy in feet (on the ground instead is one of the landmarks of the circuit).
Lindström is however dangerous in a single race and has demonstrated the ability to calibrate your preparation to have a peak performance at the big seasonal event (in fact took the podium both in Ruhpolding 2012 in Nove Mesto 2013 ). As a result it will not be surprising to find it on the podium on several occasions.
Behind this trio the rest of the movement is small, so that in Sweden has seen fade relay medals because of the lack of competitiveness of the fourth runner.
'' In the span of his career Magnus Jonsson has developed high-level peaks and potential is indisputably the number 4 Swedish. However, the thirty-one Sollefteå is somewhat erratic and the few good performance make to counter many races negative.
The twenty-five Arwidson Tobias and Ted Armgren will focus on odd placings in the points above will be played with a pectoral Jonsson for the Olympic relay. In'' arc'' s winter might also have space Christofer Eriksson, who will start in Ibu Cup after failing in internal testing.
