“Giant failure”, “catastrophe” and “crisis atmosphere”. The Finnish headliners didn’t hold back after the “Lions” lost 4-1 in their Olympic premiere against Slovakia. It is an ice hockey nation with battered self-confidence and a heavily criticized national team captain in Antti Pennanen that awaits Sweden in the second group phase game. – Of course it was a bit surprising, says Tre Kronor’s Rasmus Dahlin about the Finnish defeat. – At the same time, there are no easy games, he adds. His back colleague Gustav Forsling agrees: – Not overly shocked. On the other hand, they also have a good team.…

This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. I noticed how she gradually changed. She suddenly started biting when you pet her, vomited chunks of unchewed food, and seemed generally grumpy. The final straw was her repeatedly peeing on the morning paper that was lying on the hallway floor. The cultural supplement? Completely destroyed. Of course, we couldn’t let it go, so we took our beloved Siberian cat to the vet to see if there was a medical reason for her new moody behavior. The breed is known to suffer from…
Frida Karlsson won the premiere in the big skiathlon. When it came time for the 10 kilometer freestyle, silver medalist Ebba Andersson’s lead was just over 46 seconds. During the race, Andersson realized that she was not fighting for gold, but for the other nominals. National team manager Anders Byström: – She is so superior that it would hardly be possible to gain that much in 10 kilometers. The others are extras. It’s crazy the form she’s found and how good she seems to be right now. Partly that’s what it’s about Physiology, he says. That Frida Karlsson has been…

The narrow defeat against Italy last Wednesday. On Thursday they had no chance against Great Britain, who won 6-3. Things got off to a difficult start for Lag Niklas Edin, the reigning Olympic curling champion. Skipper Edin got off to a particularly poor start. Against Italy he had the chance to give Sweden victory with his last stone. Against Great Britain there were an unusually large number of missed shots by the world’s most deserving curlers, and Sweden could do nothing to harm the British. – I have to play almost flawlessly, especially against these teams we played against. “Joel…
Now it’s happening again. The tears and the screams. The overflowing love. It doesn’t happen very often. Perhaps it is only when we see sporting achievements that we encounter such boundless and widespread admiration. The reaction to the great achievements of the Swedish Olympic heroes reminds me of the time when, as a child, I was able to witness phenomena like Ingemar Stenmark and Björn Borg. When my eye – and this undeniably happens every now and then – notices that a tear is about to run forward, I sometimes react with surprise. But what is it about their performances…
Ahead of the Olympics in Italy, Norwegian superstar Therese Johaug told NRK that Frida Karlsson had not developed since the Beijing 2022 Olympics. Karlsson responded by winning Olympic gold in skiathlon at the start of the current Winter Games. On Thursday, Johaug followed up on her statement in her podcast “Gukild & Johaug,” which she runs together with Emil Gukild. There she explained what she meant. – She was predicted to be the new Marit Björgen and would take the throne after me and Marit, and I don’t think she did. She is very unstable, said Johaug and continued: -…
Frida Karlsson’s plan was to start relaxed, and that’s how it looked until the 26-year-old was just one second ahead of Astrid Øyre Slind from Norway in the first time run at kilometer 1.8. By the next split, however, she had increased the pace a bit and was a full 23 seconds ahead of American Jessie Diggins at half the lead. Karlsson continued to increase the distance to those behind him. She became a winner who was in a class of her own. – It’s just so much fun to drive at the moment. It somehow spreads over me. “It…

This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. What do you think of the announcement? – Firstly, Heraskevytj is the greatest hero of the Olympic Games. There are so many athletes in the world who take a stand against different things in different ways, but don’t dare cross the line when things get uncomfortable. Or about boycotting competitions in which they don’t even take part. – For the Ukrainian skeleton skater, it was more important to pay tribute to the athletes who died in the war than to compete himself, and…

The front door of the Lödöse Museum flies open as nine-year-old Elias Hoffman rushes in with his mother Pauline in tow. He is registered in advance to meet the reading dog Lovis, who is waiting for him in the door. – Is it the reading dog? I thought she would be a little smaller. But I wear gloves so I don’t get dirty with their fur. Elias is full of energy and his mouth drops as he introduces himself to Lovi’s owner, Emelie Henriksson. – My name is Elias and I am a paleontologist, which means dinosaur researcher. What is…
The modern museum lacks a clear policy regarding bribery and corruption, says Magasin K. The background is that museum director Gitte Ørskou took a trip to Qatar, a country without democracy, in October 2025, among other things, to take part in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the country’s national museum. The sister of the country’s supreme leader, Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, was responsible for the invitation, which was first reported by Dagens ETC. The invitation included, among other things, first-class airline tickets and accommodation in a five-star hotel. In Dagens ETC, Gitte Ørskou defended the invitation…
Poromaa is hoping for another gold for Wallberg Next up on the cross-country courses is the 10-kilometer freestyle, for the women on Thursday and for the men on Friday. One of those chosen is William Poromaa, who is good friends with mogul skier Walter Wallberg. Wallberg’s possible final run clashes with the women’s cross-country race. Poromaa will screen on two screens. How nervous are you for him compared to when you’re on the starting line yourself? – You’re nervous. I checked the qualifications and it’s so special with the hump that they have a chance. But you try not to…

– It’s not a real ski season if I don’t get a little bloody in at least one race. When Jessie Diggins passes DN after the World Cup race in Oberhof, she is bleeding from one arm. She fell head over heels in the snow, lost a lot of time and still fought her way to fourth place. Jessie Diggins bled herself in Oberhof but carried on. She has three goals at the Olympics: to be sure that she gives 100 percent every time she crosses the finish line, that she is not the one rocking the boat but is…
“Plans made in peacetime are not worth much, but peace planning is essential.” Carl Heath examines the quote attributed to US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, drawing on lessons learned from his work with authorities in war-torn Ukraine. It also illustrates what the Rise research institute and the University of Gothenburg are trying to do: prepare our authorities to deal with a present and future marked by crises. – We live in turbulent times, from climate change to economic turmoil to geopolitical instability. When all of this happens at the same time, it is not possible to play the same game…
This is a joke. The author is responsible for the opinions expressed in the text. I have the privilege of being able to ride my bike to work. However, I make an exception when it is minus 12 degrees and the transmission freezes as soon as you open the bicycle garage door. As an alternative, I theoretically have a nice public itinerary. Fourteen minutes on foot, ten minutes on the subway, twelve minutes on foot. Note the wording “in theory”. SL ruined this winter for me almost every time. Delayed trains disrupt the plan, I have to improvise, but there…
After a decade of largely stagnant fees, homeowners associations have increased fees by an average of 15 percent since 2022, according to the SBAB survey. Most residents accept the increases. At the same time, 24 percent say they don’t have confidence in the board’s ability to make the right financial decisions or don’t know if they have confidence. Almost half are worried about new increases. – It’s unfortunate. “It’s big money and often people’s biggest personal financial decisions,” says Linda Hasselvik, real estate economist at SBAB.
