Saturday 17 February



The King's first day in Pyeongchang began at the Sweden Arena with lunch with the Alpine ladies' team. Sweden Arena is located next to the slalom and giant slalom slopes. The same mountain area is also home to the opening arena, where the medal ceremonies were held in the evenings. The cross-country skiing, biathlon and big air competitions took place a few kilometres away.



The King then watched the ladies' 4x5 km relay race, in which the Swedish team – consisting of Anna Haag, Charlotte Kalla, Ebba Andersson and Stina Nilsson – came second after Norway.



The King also had the opportunity to congratulate biathlete Hanna Öberg on her fifth place in the 12.5 kilometre mass start, and on her earlier gold.
