The Swedish women’s national team is starting the 2026 Olympic Games with a historically successful World Ski Championships. Six out of six possible gold medals. Jonna Sundling won gold once in the individual and twice in the relay. It could have been even better. The bronze medal in the skiathlon was her first individual championship medal in a distance race. I think you would have won if you hadn’t jumped in the last round. – You’re not the first to say that. “It’s fun and hard to listen to,” Sundling says. It’s always a stressful situation because you know everyone…

According to Swedish real estate statistics, condominium prices in the country fell by 0.3 percent and house prices fell by 0.2 percent in January.

The team captain had to flee to the other side of the temporary ice rink at the Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena twice after warm-ups and before the second period. “I made my way there,” says Anna Kjellbin with a smile. There was mostly calm and joy on the ice as Sweden turned a 0-1 lead into a 4-1 win against Germany – but there was unexpected drama before and during the game, which their Premier opponents tried to use to their advantage. The toilet in our own changing room could not be used because it was blocked and filled…

But when the Olympics are over, Sweden’s opening win over Germany (4-1) may prove to be a victory that changes the future of Swedish women’s hockey. I’m using big words here – and to say the least: I’ve anticipated events – but in order for Sweden to have a chance of winning the group at the Olympic Games after…

According to Bloomberg, analysts on average had expected a profit of 4.6 billion. And in the fourth quarter of 2024 the profit was 3.9 billion. Sales fell 16 percent year-on-year to NOK 94.4 billion. The forecast there was 101.8 billion. “The decline is mainly due to sales mix, pricing, lower wholesale volume and unfavorable foreign exchange effects due to a stronger krona compared to the previous year,” Volvo Cars wrote in the report. The board suggests that no dividend will be paid out to the owners this year. “For 2026, Volvo Cars aims to return to full-year volume growth year-on-year…

When Kristina Sparreljung started working at the Heart-Lung Foundation in 1996, her tasks were fundraising and building volunteer networks. Over time, the role grew to include project management, fundraising and marketing – and twelve years ago he took over as general secretary. The driving force was, among other things, personal. – My father had his first heart attack when he was 39 and I was only eight years old. He was part of the generation that didn’t want to talk about it and just said everything was fine. But I walked around with worry. – Then he died too early,…

At Pantbanken Sverige’s office on Fridhemsplan in Stockholm, the number of customers wanting to value or pawn their gold items has increased significantly. Their lending is up 30 percent compared to January last year. “I don’t understand it, it happened very quickly,” says Robin Lindqvist, the office manager.

You think you miscalculated. The…

– In many cases this leads to increased competition as space becomes smaller the higher the birds go, says Joséphine Couet, an ecology researcher at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Together with a large group of European researchers, she examined how a total of 177 bird species in some mountain areas of Europe have changed their habits since the turn of the millennium. The result, now published in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography, shows that the birds have flown an average of half a meter higher per year since 2001. – We already know that vegetation is creeping…

At first we hardly noticed anything – how Elon Musk was arguing about the future of Tesla’s electric cars: Some Tesla models were delayed here. Another one there. Beautiful promises of a new (especially) small Tesla model evaporated like a dream at dawn. Musk’s far-right stance had caused the progressive global middle class – his core audience – to avoid Tesla. What his role as enfant terrible Many people are surprised that the Trump administration has ended the Tesla brand. In any case,…

High fines, tough immigration policies and more complicated entry requirements. These are some of the reasons that are believed to be responsible for the lower interest in tourism in the United States. “The whole of last year was very volatile, up and down, up and down,” says Didrik von Seth.

So far this year the loss is even greater compared to last year and is almost 30 percent. – It’s still early, but it’s not stabilizing, the trend right now…
