Team World Cup scores: Sweden has commanding lead

With three of the five counting relays now complete, Sweden holds a lead of 125 points with Switzerland in second place and Norway third.

With two Sprint Relay wins and the just-achieved triumph for their women’s relay team, Sweden tops the table in the Team World Cup standings. Switzerland, second-placed in the first World Cup Sprint Relay and a string of sound results otherwise, lie second with 18 points more than Norway, winners of today’s men’s relay. Russia are just 2 points down on Norway, then there is a gap of 36 points down to the next nation, Denmark.

Two events remain in this season’s competition: men’s and women’s relays in Latvia at the end of August and a Sprint Relay (World Cup Final) in Switzerland at the end of September.
