Norway with Christiansen to finish
The Norwegians also line up an expected team, with Sturla Holm Laegreid, the Boe brothers and Vetle Sjaastad Christiansen. The little surprise comes from the fact that it is Christiansen who will finish this relay, and not Johannes Thingnes Boe (who had finished the mixed relay at the opening of the Olympics). Laegreid will launch his team, before handing over the torch to Tarjei Boe and Johannes. On the Russian side, Said Karimulla Khalili will serve as the fourth man alongside Alexsander Loginov, Eduard Latypov and Maxim Tsvetkov. Khalili will open the relay, before launching Loginov, Tsvetkov and therefore Latypov as the last torchbearer.
