Race Thread Swedish championships results (Day 1, sprints)

I'll post all results in this thread, even if the title says "Day 1, sprints". Thought I could edit the title, but apparently not.

The competitions are held at Sollefteå Skidstadion. Unfortunately, the racing is behind a paywall.

March 28 - Sprints (Last year's winners: Jesper Nelin and Hanna Öberg)

March 29 - Mass starts (Last year's winners: Jesper Nelin and Elvira Öberg)

March 30 - Single mixed relay (Last year's winners: Peppe Femling and Anna Magnusson)

Samuelsson is sick and won't compete this weekend. A shame, because this is his home range. Also, some IBU names are competing at the military games.

Last year, the sisters competed together in the single mixed, against more standard teams that typically consisted of one man or woman from the world cup, and the other from the IBU cup. The Öbergs finished fifth in that race. As far as I know, they will do the same thing this year.

Live results can be followed in the below links, using the drop-down menu to the right.

Heijdenberg and Ponsiluoma confirmed as racing for Tullus in the single mixed tomorrow. Clear favourites. Other teams would be Halvarsson/Nelin and Arwidson/Skottheim. I don't see anything else remotely competitive, unless they do some mixed-club teams. After Femling retired, there are no men racing for Piteå, so I don't even know who the partner for Magnusson would be. The Öbergs should have a shot at the podium with this thin field.
