The cold has struck at a time when wind power was producing less than normal and water supplies were unusually low. In addition, the new export pipeline to Finland and high electricity prices in Europe have contributed to Swedish electricity prices rising to their highest level in several years. In January, Kamilla Olesen received an electricity bill of SEK 9,500 in Niemisel, Luleå municipality. It’s almost three times what the family normally pays in the winter. “It affects us a lot, we couldn’t even heat the house,” she says. “It’s pretty dark in all the houses. Many neighbors make fires…

After two gold medals from Frida Karlsson, two silver medals from Ebba Andersson, a gold medal from Linn Svahn, a silver medal from Jonna Sundling and a bronze medal from Maja Dahlqvist, Saturday’s women’s relay is another great medal opportunity for Sweden’s cross-country skiing women. The team is a big favorite for gold. – But there are four stages that take us from the beginning to the finish and a lot can happen. and there were rumors that the weather will change (the weather forecast says it could rain or snow). That’s why it’s important to be on your guard…
William Poromaa crashed and finished 20th. Gustaf Berglund was 29th, Truls Gisselman 40th and Edvin Anger 42nd. “It feels clear that it’s not working, I don’t have the form, I don’t have the day… I don’t have what it takes to be at the level I want to be now,” says a dejected Anger after the race. – I know that perhaps the biggest chance is the relay and that I have to be in shape for us to have something to do with it. Then it gets frustrating. We have to hope for a miracle, he continues. Anger notices…
“I like guys!” says the little brother when a flirtatious girl gets up the courage to confess her love to him. The little brother stands up for her, but does he dare to do the same in his family? The scene is from “Säg inget till mamma”, a play that premiered at the Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Skärholmen in Stockholm. The story is about finding yourself in the middle of the emotional hustle and bustle of teenage life and having the courage to be who you are – fully. Yoel Escanilla plays Big Brother and Derek Cespedés plays Little Brother in…

Strand is a traditional hotel with a prime location that is now owned by the Belgian chain Radisson.

Shortly before the pandemic, the house received a “complete…
Before this week’s list of critics was published, voters faced a challenge of purely tectonic dimensions. Three of the long-running titles were lost due to the three-month rule: Richard Flanagan’s “Question 7”, Åsne Seierstad’s “Ofred” and Therese Bohman: “Kammakargatan”. Two bubblers were also at the start: “Magic of Silence” by Florian Illie and “Boulder” by Eva Baltasar. So points were redistributed, three new titles were voted on and half of the jury is on sick leave. ■ ■ ■ Other institutions have different challenges. I recently received a concerned email from the International Society for Intermedial Studies. It’s about the…

Ava Hampe and Neil Rockey. Photo: Elina Wahlstedt Ava Hampe, 21, from Chicago and an exchange student at Karolinska Institutet – I like sentimental things like letters, something with photos. Jewelry always works. Then I like it when we invent things together. Some people buy very expensive gifts, but as long as they come from the heart, it is a good gift. I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money on Valentine’s Day. Neil Rockey, 22, visiting from Chicago – I also like the sentimental but also practical things that I can use. Ava is good at…
960 million – that’s how much Swedes are expected to spend before Valentine’s Day. This is a big loss compared to last year when the forecast was 1.3 billion. The report is backed by industry organization Swedish Trade, whose gift expert Brill Ivarsson believes the uncertain global situation could be the reason for the sudden decline. – The week we asked the questions was in the middle of the Greenland crisis, and I think it leaves its mark. Maybe not with the individual, but with us as a collective and as a country, he says. Brill Ivarsson is an analyst…

DN meets Stanislav Oroshkvutj in the finish area of the Olympic bobsleigh and skeleton track in Cortina. He is angry but composed. The IOC has just made the decision to disqualify his compatriot Vladyslav Heraskevytj. Skeleton skaters refused to heed calls not to wear helmets with the faces of athletes and friends who died in the war. The IOC considers the helmet to be political propaganda and violates Olympic rules. Oroshkvutj calls that’s nonsense. – This is not about a political award, but about honoring athletes who are members of the Olympic family and Ukrainian sports. “Here are children and…

This is an opinion piece in Dagens Nyheter. The author is responsible for the opinions in the article. My family and I fled Iran for Sweden in 1987 – a year before the massacres in Iranian prisons in which thousands of political prisoners were executed without charge. 38 years later, we witness an equally devastating massacre. On my Instagram feed I see pictures of lifeless bodies in black garbage bags, lined up one after the other. In a video clip, a father films himself desperately searching for his son Sepehr. “Where are you, Sepehr,” he screams desperately. He passes corpses,…
Passler also appealed the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport Cas. They rejected the appeal, but now the Italian Anti-Doping Organization’s appeal court has made a different decision. “The result allows the athlete to take part in the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan Cortina. Passler will be reunited with his teammates from Monday, February 16,” the Italian winter sports federation wrote on its website. When DN spoke to the sports director of the Italian Winter Sports Federation Klaus Höllrigl last week, he said that the positive test was a shock – for him, for the team and between…
Elvira and Hanna Öberg are among the fastest skiers in the biathlon circuit. But at the Olympic distance on Wednesday, Elvira Öberg was almost a minute and a half behind the fastest runner on the course (Lou Jeanmonnot, France) and Hanna Öberg a full two and a half minutes behind. – I have no pressure at all on the track today. “I don’t know why,” said Hanna Öberg after the race. She didn’t want to say it that there was something wrong with what she had under her feet, and when head coach Johannes Lukas was asked questions about the…

The entire arena stands up and bouquets of flowers fly in from both the short and long sides as Ilia Malinin finishes his men’s singles short program. He has the audience wrapped around his little finger and enjoys every second on the ice. There is no doubt who the main attraction of the competition is and for Andreas Nordebäck it is not difficult to understand why. – It’s crazy. There is no one who can surpass him if he drives well. On a good day he is unstoppable, says the 21-year-old from Solna and continues: – I’ve never seen anyone…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. The way Ulf Lundell feels, Sweden feels too. The claim came from a friend and he pointed out how the old male wolf transformed after the turn of the millennium into something more than just a simple artist or writer. He is the spirit of the country. And it had very little to do with whether or not “Open Landscape” was the country’s unofficial national anthem. No, the silverback embodied collective Swedishness in its purest form. So a lovably grumpy and stubborn old…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. To be part of the vibrant tech community, you have to wear a certain uniform. Put on a down or fleece vest, preferably from the Patagonia brand, use phrases like circle back And create values, and embrace the idea that all societal problems can be solved with code.
