Frida Karlsson has won two World Championship silver medals in skiathlon, but the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing turned into a nightmare for the 26-year-old with a fifth place in the distance. Two days before Saturday’s race, she described how Beijing needed to arm itself and go to war. Now she was looking forward to playing and defeating “the final boss.” And when she got into the groove. She outclassed the competition when she immediately took over the baton at top speed. She is so superior at the finish that she can take it upon herself to capture a Swedish…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. While the “best albums of 2025” lists are still fresh in my mind, I’m disappointed to note that neither FKA Twigs nor Rosalía, responsible for two of last year’s most acclaimed records, have concerts planned in Sweden this year. To see FKA branches you have to go to Copenhagen. Rosalía’s “Lux” tour next stops in Berlin. Someone who won’t be there either is Harry Styles. To see the global star, you have to have the time and money to go to Amsterdam. His…

It’s been 24 years since Brandsta City Släckers became the favorite among Melodifestivalen’s youngest viewers with “Kom och ta mig”. Now their fans from back then may be parents themselves in front of the television. – Yes, it’s so much fun that we get to meet a whole new audience of children. Many say that we are one of the broadest bands in Sweden when you look at the age of the audience. We also have a lot of older people who were with us on our last trip. You were big at the 2002 and 2003 Melodie festivals, why…
Bryan Johnson, 48 years old and worth hundreds of millions, has his teenage son’s blood plasma pumped into his own veins. He eats exactly 2,250 vegan calories a day, swallows dozens of supplements and spends twenty million crowns a year on what he calls “Project Blueprint” – biohacking to make his body younger. In another time, a man of Johnson’s fortune might have built a concert hall or founded a university. Instead, he fights against the one thing he cannot buy his way out of: time. He is not alone. Elon Musk, one of the richest men in the world,…
In 2022, Sweden became the first country to begin allowing tackles in women’s hockey – that is, tackles that are in the same direction and not on open ice. Morgan Johansson, project manager and player safety officer at the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, called the rule change “the biggest ever” on the women’s side. Three years ago he told DN that he would be very surprised if the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) did not move in the same direction in the near future. But the rules have still not changed during the championship – and so tackling is still…
In four years, since Russia’s attack on Ukraine and as all countries began to review their defense measures, Saab has become the company on everyone’s lips. The share price has increased tenfold in four years. Saab has been running a share savings program for many years that is aimed at all employees. Anyone who puts aside part of their salary and buys Saab shares will receive the same number of free shares from their employer after three years. And whoever did this was richly rewarded. According to Saab statistics Around 8,000-11,000 employees take part in the bonus program every year.…

The silence closes around your ears like a vacuum. The sound in the headphones stops, leaving behind a galloping heartbeat and studio lights staring at the stage. When Felicia presents melody number four as “My System”, only one thought runs through your head: “Now I’m dying, so I’ll die now,” says Felicia Eriksson as she describes how it will feel just before she is set to perform her number on the Melodifestivalen stage. On Saturday evening she is there for the second time, but for the first time as herself. When DN meets her At the record company Warner’s office…
This is a joke. The author is responsible for the opinions expressed in the text. It’s not always possible to growl and sneer on the same day. But now it has happened. Let’s take the smile first. The reason for this is the spelled apron. Yes, you know that handy piece of clothing you tie around yourself to keep your clothes from spilling while cooking, grilling, baking, pickling, and other things. I read a while ago that the apron had made its way onto the Italian catwalk and was introduced as a fashion item that could be worn over regular…
This is a comment text. The author is responsible for the analysis and positioning in the text. It had never happened before that a Swedish ski team won six out of six possible gold medals. It happened last year at the World Cup. It has never happened before that a Swedish team started an Olympic race with four clear gold candidates. It’s happening here and now in Val di Fiemme, Italy. That Norway has not managed the generational change is a cause. The fact that Russia is closed except for one “neutral” driver is another matter. But the main reasons…
As if it wasn’t enough to constantly have to appease “Lolita” from historical accusations of immorality and perversion! Now, as a fan of the novel, you also have to live with the fact that it was Jeffrey Epstein’s favorite book. That the sex offender – a word that doesn’t quite fit Epstein, the man who became definitive proof that Stanley Kubrick’s conspiracy classic “Eyes Wide Shut” is a documentary – liked Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 novel certainly did not come to light in the recently released Epstein documents. (Coincidentally, it was the same Stanley Kubrick who directed the 1962 film adaptation…

How has your last name Krimes influenced your life? – I didn’t think much about it until I was thirteen and the man I thought was my father killed himself. I was young and didn’t know how to deal with it. I started falling into the wrong circles and became violent, and instead of getting help I ended up in the police and getting punished. The external systems reinforced the identity already assigned to me. As a result, I began to see myself early on as someone who was outside the norm – a criminal – even though I wasn’t…

By December 2025, the Swedish Consumer Agency had received 150 complaints against educational institutions alleging poor advertising labeling, misleading marketing or unfair contractual conditions. Some of them have names that suggest they are about e-commerce, dropshipping, or other ways to make money online. Some can also be identified by media reviews that have highlighted problems or exposed fraudulent operations. “We are absolutely aware of the problem and regularly receive notifications about this type of training,” says Sandra Troedsson, a lawyer at the Swedish Consumer Agency. But the applicants don’t get any Help. The authority’s general assessment is that they should…
When you start, the ground largely disappears under your skis. The descent in Bormio, Italy, begins with a gradient of 60 percent. The speed is sometimes up to 150 kilometers per hour. At this speed, drivers have to try to negotiate the bumps, curves and jumps on the over three kilometer long track. – Other downhill races have sections where you can shake your legs a little to relieve the numbness. But there is no such thing in Bormio, says Anja Pärson, who works as an expert for SVT’s broadcasts during the Olympic Games. Italian skier Matteo Marsiglia falls down…
