With one month left until the opening of the Olympics, the Swedish squad is growing and is now up to 110 active.
A skateboarder, a hammer thrower, three golfers and a group of swimmers belong to the squad’s freshmen.
A further eleven athletes can now plan for a visit to Paris. The latest additions to the Olympic squad are:
• The golfs Maja Stark, Lynn Grant and Alex Norén.
“Together with the already selected Ludvig Åberg, we have a very strong Swedish Olympic golf team that will play in Paris,” says the Swedish team manager Peter Reinebo in a press release.

• The swimmers Sara Junevik, Sofia Åstedt, Hanna Rosvall, Robin Hanson, Isak Eliasson and Elias Persson. They take place in the four team races that have qualified.
“Funny that we have so many teams in swimming. We are going with a strong national swimming team of 13 people,” says Reinebo.
• The hammer thrower Ragnar Carlsson.
• The skateboarder Hampus Winberg.
Winberg was tenth in the WC last year and a great future promise in the park discipline. Carlsson becomes the 16th athlete to receive the go-ahead after recording 77.57.
“Hampus and Ragnar hope we can perform now in Paris, but also in future games,” says Peter Reinebo.

The Swedish squad now consists of almost as many individual athletes as in Tokyo 2021. Three years ago, the Olympic squad had 137 names. Then the women’s national football team was included with 22 players.
On Saturday, the riders in jumping, dressage and eventing are taken out. There are three riders in each team plus a reserve.
The entire Olympic squad will be announced on July 3, and then the Swedish Olympic Committee will announce its medal target.
The Olympics in Paris open on July 26.
