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…

The Valla buses are lining up in a parking lot behind the stands of the Olympic Arena in Antholz. At the end of the 2000s, the Swedish biathletes’ dikes were stored in a container. Today the national team has a beautiful caravan with all possible facilities and an upgrade to the best possible working environment and sustainability thinking. Have multiple national teams similar resources today. But hardly all of them. The gaps in sport are large, says Swedish Olympic star Sebastian Samuelsson, who is also chairman of the active committee within the International Biathlon Union (IBU). – I feel like…
Sustainability was the watchword when Milano Cortina won the Olympic election against Stockholm Åre 2019. But where should the sport of luge go? The Cortina track used at the 1956 Games was dilapidated and far from being up to standard. When Italy last hosted the Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006, Cesena hosted bobsleigh, luge and skeleton sports, but 10 years later the track was shut down and became a useless white elephant, something the International Olympic Committee wants to avoid. Postpone the toboggan races to an existing route overseas, perhaps even in Lake Placid on the other side of…
Footage of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt banging each other went viral on the internet last week. But this is just one example of what can be achieved with a new Chinese AI model. Other users have made similar films with characters from several popular Netflix series. “Netflix will not allow Bytedance to convert our valuable content into a free public domain,” the streaming giant wrote in a strongly worded statement. Seedance 2.0 is currently only available to Chinese users of the Bytedance app Capcut. And the clips generated are a maximum of 15 seconds long. But the fact The…
Normally the best skaters have to wait until the end, but when the women’s singles figure skating short program was about to begin, Adelija Petrosyan – one of the early favorites – entered the ice as number two in the starting field. The 18-year-old Russian had barely competed internationally before and was therefore unable to rely on previous results on which to base the order. After completing the program, the three-time Russian champion received 72.89 points, a new personal best that put her in first place – where she stayed for two and a half hours. – I am very…
The Swede came to ski jumping through his father, who took over responsibility for the Swedish Ski Games in Falun in the early 80s and realized that the ski competitions needed a little more love. When her sister, who was ten years younger than her, started jumping, it was difficult for her not to really get involved in it. Since Marit Stub Nybelius didn’t want to jump herself, she decided to train as a judge and received full training in 1991. After trials in Sweden, her career continued internationally in 1998. She hadn’t thought about it before, but soon realized…
This is a joke. The author is responsible for the opinions expressed in the text. Money can’t buy happiness, as Elon Musk once said at X. But there are many other things that money can actually buy. I noticed this while indulging in the long-standing hobby of going into people’s homes via ads for houses I can’t afford. In California, money mostly buys toilets. For example, a Spanish-Colonial-style home with a pool, gym, and four bedrooms contains seven toilets. Four rooms and seven toilets in Little Holmby, Los Angeles currently cost $8,750,000 – just over 78 million crowns. But, I…
When Frida Karlsson took home her double Olympic gold in Fiemme Valley, she did so on classic Swedish ski terrain. In the mythical valley of the Dolomites, Torgny Mogren won gold in the five-mile race in 1991. Johan Olsson repeated his performance in 2013 at the same distance and location. The valley is the same. But when Frida Karlsson now competes in her final start at these Olympic Games over the royal distance of cross-country skiing – five miles – she will do so in a very, very different sport than the one in which the previous male gold medalists…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. It was a hell of a life to say the least when the first promotional images from the TV series Love Story were released in June last year. The many fashion experts on the Internet were fuming. Were Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly the wrong actors to play John Kennedy Jr. and his stylish wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy? Not at all. The anger was because the clothes were hanging incorrectly on the walls. Photo: TT Would this woman who to this day, 26…
The disappointment was unmistakable after Sweden’s bitter overtime defeat against the USA. When Quinn Hughes made it 2-1 with a perfect finish in the third against three, it was as if Tre Kronor’s players had run out of steam and found it difficult to describe what they had just been through. “It’s hard to analyze and say something positive when you’ve lost a quarter-final,” said Mika Zibanejad, who kept Sweden in the game with a late equalizer to make it 1-1. Mika Zibanejad and Adrian Kempe have ended their participation in the Olympic Games. Photo: Emma Wallskog/Bildbyrån The hardest thing…
Husmankosten classic pea soup tastes particularly good after a long walk in winter weather. How long this combination has been around is difficult to say, but the hit came to the Nordic countries in the mid-18th century. Back then as a rare and exotic drink for the rich, punch caused a stir in the 19th century. The main flavors in punch are the brandy arrack and sugar, which give the drink its unique sweet and spicy character. The alcohol content is around 25 percent and traditionally the punch was served both hot and cold. At first, punch, like other liqueurs,…

This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. Sierra Leone, Chad, Uganda, Somalia. These are countries where rebel groups and government forces have used child soldiers. They were recruited through coercion or threats, or they were so badly off that they felt they had no other choice. Why children? They are easily brainwashed. And poorly paid. They are also often perceived by the enemy as particularly fearsome, more ruthless and unpredictable. When the report about child soldiers was made public, it sparked outrage. In recent years Criminal gangs in Sweden have…
The Swedish Medicines Agency is currently gathering forces together with the police, pharmaceutical manufacturers and international regulators to stop the illegal trade in counterfeit medicines. There is growing concern about a growing black market for counterfeit medicines operating in the dark. In November 2024, the Swedish Medicines Agency was commissioned by the government to investigate the existence of illegal drug sales to Swedish consumers online. The Swedish Medicines Agency has now were able to identify a total of 122 websites specifically targeting Swedish consumers that were selling drugs illegally. About eighty of the sellers were linked to Sweden. – There…
The star-studded Canadian team came to Milan with one goal: win more gold. As expected, they won all three games in the group, one of them against their quarter-final opponents, the Czech Republic. Canada then easily won 5-0 against the Czech Republic, who didn’t look particularly harmonious. Since the Czech Republic finished third in their group, they had to face Denmark in the round of 16. Although they won, albeit with some difficulty, they were unable to convince here either. Then it was time for Wednesday’s quarterfinals, and then a completely different Czech Republic took the ice. Not even that…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. “Dizzying heights” Author: Emily Brontë. Readers: Katarina Ewerlöf, Johan Rabaeus. Duration: 14 hours 16 minutes. As usual, the new film hijacks half the action and all the depth, so there’s every reason to dust off this ambitious (and unexpectedly funny!) take from 2014, in which Rabaeus in particular shines as the interpreter of the scapegoat Heathcliff and his entire arsenal of rude insults. Otherwise, it’s a dark gem, so dark that the poet Dante Rossetti once described it as “a novel about hell…
Linn Gestblom’s path to Olympic relay silver is like no other. – To be honest, this was impossible in November. It was impossible, repeats Sweden’s head coach Johannes Lukas. The biathlete formerly known as Persson completes himself: – It’s a little unbelievable. I’m walking around here and I’m a little surprised. “To be honest, it was impossible in November,” says Sweden head coach Johannes Lukas about Linn Gestblom’s championship comeback – and Olympic silver.

When Cornelia Öhlund had completed half of the second run on her Olympic debut, she was on the verge of a sensation. Then the stick went off and the dream of a medal went up in smoke. In the end she didn’t even make it to the finish. – I can’t understand how it happened. Once it broke, it became unbalanced and very difficult to ride, said Öhlund, who had never experienced a broken stick in his career. “This shouldn’t happen and it’s typical for it to happen at the Olympics, but these are very good rods and I won’t…
Sweden’s women’s biathlon won Olympic gold in 2022 and chased its fifth consecutive championship medal in the relay. They succeeded. It was silver. The Swedish women’s biathlon team is one of the best in the world. The Italian Alps Olympic team finished third, fifth and sixth overall in the World Cup – Anna Magnusson, Hanna Öberg and Elvira Öberg. Also the experienced but injured Linn Gestblom, formerly Persson. But the results at the Olympic Games have so far been lacking. Anna Magnusson and Hanna Öberg was certainly strong in the opening mixed relay (Sweden fifth) in Antholz. But before the…
