The teams for the five-mile race are ready – Myhlback will not be flown in The cross-country national team management has selected the following teams for the last five miles of this weekend: Gentlemen, Saturday: Gustaf Berglund, Johan Häggström, Calle Halfvarsson, William Poromaa. Ladies, Sunday: Frida Karlsson, Ebba Andersson, Emma Ribom, Jonna Sundling. However, Friday morning’s press conference was mostly about those who weren’t selected. Edvin Anger himself announced after the sprint relay that he probably wouldn’t run the five miles due to problems with his trachea, and that’s how it will be. Then speculation began about whether anyone who…

Adam Olenius “4 lives” (archetype) It’s a bit like Adam Olenius has been hiding in Shout Out Louds all these years. Probably because they’ve done a lot of miserable indie rock, but it’s never sounded so naked and unclothed. Shout Out Louds had quite a bit of success in the early 2000s, gaining traction on the teen series OC, going on countless US tours, and appearing on both Letterman and Leno. The latest album – fine “House” –…
Heavy snowfall over the Italian Alps meant that the men’s halfpipe freeski qualifying had to be postponed by a day. Although the competition itself could have been held, rescue helicopters were unable to land in Livigno in the prevailing conditions and the organizer chose to err on the side of caution before unsafe hazards arose at the difficult-to-access Olympic site. Now both the qualification and the final will be decided on Friday. For two of the drivers, the competition will be special in many ways. It’s about 27-year-old American Hunter Hess and 34-year-old Gus Kenworthy, who grew up and lives…

The actor died on Thursday after being ill for some time with ALS, a disease he first spoke openly about in April 2025. Eric Dane, born in 1972, made his television debut in 1993 in series such as “Pang i plugget” and “A beautiful time”. His big break came with his role in the drama series “Grey’s Anatomy,” in which he played plastic surgeon Mark Sloan between 2006 and 2012. A younger generation will probably know him primarily from the HBO series “Euphoria”. There he played Cal Jacobs, the patriarchal father of the character Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi.…
This is a joke. The author is responsible for the opinions expressed in the text. A thoughtful acquaintance let me borrow a book he thought I would appreciate, which I did. “Kåk i Eken” is the name of the book, written by the author Vilhelm Ragnar, published in 1959 and set in a tenement house on Surbrunnsgatan in Eken, Stockholm. From my childhood I remember straight Surbrunnsgatan, from the western end of which you could see the Värtan gas bell far to the east. Krogen Surbrunn later became a successful stand-up hook, inspired by Lenny Bruce in New York. In…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. You have to love men very much, wrote Marguerite Duras in the book “Everyday Things”.”A lot, a lot. Love her hard to love her. If you don’t, it won’t work, you can’t stand her.” I spent an already busy month of February delving deeply into the Epstein and Pelicot cases, and never have Dura’s words felt more urgently relevant. But the year started with another cultural debate as Amanda Romare’s new novel Judas was dissected as an unattractive woman’s project to reinvent her…
Curling isn’t just about rocks and ice. Next to the field there is a music box that counts down. Each team has 38 minutes for the ten rounds. If all of the stones are not delivered before time runs out, the team loses the game. “It’s very unusual, but I’ve actually seen it in both championships and Grand Slam games,” says Kristian Lindström, the coach of the Swedish women’s team at the Olympics.

This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. As Sammy Davis Jr. sang: “Don’t commit the crime. If you don’t have the time, then don’t do it.” Or if you want to speak sports language: Don’t treat yourself to psychos, Trash talk and general banter. When you can’t keep your balance in the approaching storm. Björn Borg wouldn’t have won a single tennis match against John McEnroe if he hadn’t treated the American’s outbursts and outbursts coldly. Canada’s players were fired up rather than alarmed by the cheating allegations. Photo: Joel…
The tragic death on December 23 last year affected the biathlon world before and during the ongoing Olympic Games in Italy. – Sivert, we did it! Norwegian Johan-Olav Botn shouted directly into the camera after his Olympic gold last week. It was Botn who found his teammate Sivert Guttorm Bakken dead in a hotel room in Italy the day before Christmas Eve. Bakken wore what is known as an altitude mask. Botn had ordered the same equipment, he told VG: – It’s simply the cheapest you can find. It is important to point this out that the cause of Sivert…

It all starts with a nude bedroom scene. Amanda (Juliette Binoche) panics when she witnesses her stepfather Martin (Tom Courtenay) having sex with her demented mother (Anna Calder-Marshall). She soon called the police, setting in motion an extensive chain of investigations and social efforts that cannot be stopped. It raises a number of complicated questions in a borderland: Is this abuse – even though the mother often shows sexual desire? Or is a person with dementia by definition unable to make decisions about consent? So begins Lance Hammer’s British social drama “Queen at Sea”, which is considered one of the…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. The Washington Post’s existential crisis cannot be blamed on Jeff Bezos, media critic Olle Lidbom confidently declares in his newsletter (18/2), which goes to many of Sweden’s most influential media voices. Lidbom writes there that Bezos, the third richest man in the world, was, on the contrary, a “serious owner” who did not mismanage anything at all. Instead, the problems are blamed solely on the publishers. It is unclear what Lidbom is basing this information on. I personally know about twenty journalists and…
After having great success with her first book “The Charm of the Gut” in 2014, in which she highlighted the intestines as an underestimated organ, the German doctor and researcher Giulia Enders is now focusing on the entire body. During her work and in conversations with patients, she often felt the need to explain how the body works differently than before. – We need a different relationship with our body and see it differently. A concrete example is safety and security, which are often discussed in society. How does the body define this – the immune system is not just…
The criticism comes after Bonnier Förlag in Norway used the AI program Midjourney to illustrate the second book in the children’s book series about Miss Snushane instead of hiring a human creator. The Norwegian industry organization Grafill, among others, believes that this undermines the professional role of illustrators. Bonnier confirmed An email to the newspaper Klassekampen, which first reported the incident, said that the book’s cover was created with the help of AI. The reason is said to have been that the original illustrator Odin Helgheim didn’t have the opportunity to work on the cover design this time. Lene Renneflot,…
The Swedish Olympic Committee’s goal of winning 15 medals was already within reach. On Thursday, the Women’s Crowns want to secure 16th place at the Winter Games. But that’s not how it happened. – It is clear that it was a big disappointment. We had been waiting for this for so many years and we felt we had a chance to win a medal for Sweden, says Hanna Olsson. Just like twelve years ago at the Olympic Games in Sochi, it was Switzerland that ruined the bronze medal plans – and this time too, 27-year-old Alina Müller got on the…
This is an opinion piece in Dagens Nyheter. The author is responsible for the opinions in the article. “Good evening from the Olympic Stadium.” This is how Rai Sports boss Paolo Petrecca began the opening of the Winter Olympics. It’s just a shame that the ceremony didn’t take place there but at the San Siro stadium in Milan. Just a few minutes after the first blunder, Italian actress Matilda De Angelis entered the stage, but Paolo Petrecca introduced her as the world-famous singer Mariah Carey. A little later he said that the president of the International Olympic Committee, Kirsty Coventry,…
In Rackstadbacken, north of Arvika, schools can ski for free. Here the residents of the community also teach their children to ride horses. The Arvika Slalom Club is a completely non-profit, non-profit organization. Above all, the snow cannons use a lot of electricity. DN has written several articles about how the rollout works The new electricity tariffs are blind and lead to uncontrolled costs. In this case, the Arvika Slalom Club has been paying a so-called effect subscription for several years. It is reminiscent of the electricity tariffs that are now being introduced nationwide. This has led to a doubling…
